As far as the division of Poland after World War II, it was very possible to avoid. The redivision was a result of Soviet demands. The other Allied leaders failed to defend their ideals against Soviet attacks. If the other leaders had been more determined to honor their promises to their ally, it is likely the borders of Poland would not have been changed.
