To answer that serious information on the French plans and mobilization are needed. There were significant differences between this date & 1940. among other things half the French AF would not be stood down to retrain the crew in new models.
Another reason for me to learn French then...
As has been mentioned earlier, the Poles understood France was their best friend. They'd be reluctant to take action that would leave them without that ally, or Britain if available. the Polish actions of March 1939 were based on the fact the French were doing nothing proactive and were not expected to do anything in the foreseeable future. France taking positive action against Germany is exactly what Polands leaders hoped for, reviving the Little Entente was to their advantage.
Hm. And it does seem that Poland and the SU had a non-aggression pact at this point in time, so this may be more likely than I'd thought.
I wonder if the Soviets would go after the Baltic states while the rest of Europe was distracted with the Germans...
If France is acting same way as it was in 1939, 1 ton3 months till Czechoslovakia is defeated. Poland would be probably neutral and possibly occupy some territories with Cs consent, which Cs army would clear due to retreat, so for example Germans would find Polish troops in Tesen instead of Cs.
Hm. Wasn't a big factor in their choices in 1939 that they were putting off mobilization until they knew Britain was committed on their side?
I guess something similar could happen here - France is more aggressive, but still wants to secure British help, so they do everything they can to not look like warmongers while trying to secure British guarantees, then give up as it becomes increasingly clear that Britain will not join them in guaranteeing Czechoslovakia... If that diplomatic game drags on long enough, the Germans could perhaps "get the drop" on the French.
