    Context for Chamberlain’s decision: They were hoping Britain, France, Germany, Poland, and Japan would be on the same side, against the USSR.

    Hence why they all rejected mutual defense pacts with the USSR, and Chamberlain+deGaulle’s attempt to join the winter war, which was only stopped by Sweden’s refusal to allow transit.
