Mike - it's not as if Churchill and Roosevelt had a whole lot of choice. They didn't GIVE him Poland - his armies took it, and I don't think we had enough military power to take it back from them.
They (Roosevelt and Churchill) also still had that little scrap going on in the Pacific, which Stalin had sat out.
Roosevelt, let alone Truman, could not have gotten political support from anyone in either party for continuing or resuming a war against the Soviet Union. Hell's bells, even Mr. Republican himself (Taft) was opposed to most of the efforts Truman undertook in the early days of the "Cold War."

PD, Michael meant Czechoslovakia and Chamberlain's pronouncement to the British Parliament:
"I brought you Peace" after he assured Hitler that he can take it.
He is busy researching Soviet pilots in Korea and got confused a bit with Chamberlain due to the preasure I put on him
