Well the 'Polish-British Common Defence Pact' was specifically aimed at any agression by Nazi Germany towards either country. Given how far away Poland was from Britain though, there were clearly other reasons for signing this pact.

Anyway, the pact did not cover any attack by the Soviet Union, so I think it would be interesting to see what the British response would have been to any such attack.
