yes. It was a main reason the United States dropped diplomatic relations with Germany and entered the war on the side of the French and British.
The British and French made a pact, an alliance with Poland, that if Germany would invade, Britain and France would officially declare war on Germany.The British (at least, maybe the French too) were mainly using this as an excuse to attack Germany, they feared that they might become too powerful if they started enlarging their empire. As Poland was just an excuse for war, the British showed how little they cared about Poland in 1945.
In World War II, the 1940 invasion of France by Germany quickly led to a "cornering" of French and British troops at a port called Dunkirk (or, in French Dunkerque). Surrounded by German infantry and armor while being battered by German warplanes, over 300,000 of the cornered soldiers were evacuated by sea before the pocket finally collapsed.
