While what happened to the Poles was a tragedy, by the end of the Second World War, the British and certainly the French were junior partners in the war against Hitler's Germany - and had little to say about how Europe was to be divided. If you want to blame FDR, fine. But by late 1943 (and certainly by early 1945 at Yalta), FDR was a sick old man, with a number of Soviet Spys in his Administration. Maybe if Truman were President sooner, the United States wouldn't have yielded Eastern Europe (Truman forced the Soviets to end their occupation of Northern Iran after the end of WWII). Of course, it was at Yalta, that it was decided that Soviet and not American or British troops would take Berlin - and the million casualties.
