The government of the Byzantine Empire was held by the emperor. He ( and sometimes "She") was the absolute monarch, commander in chief of the army and also head of the Church.
As head of the Church, the emperor could appoint or dismiss the most important ecclesiastical role in the empire, the Patriarch or bishop of Constantinople. Plus, the emperor was regarded as having been chosen by God to rule for the good of the people.
In the 19th century, the poor represented a threat to the social order, so the government created laws to regulate them and provide them with some kind of care, but the administration and social work was carried out mostly by citizens who organized themselves to bring social aid to the poor and more disadvantaged, as well as creating shelters for poor people, attending them with education, health and legal assistance, this was how the movement was adding more volunteers to social activism to help their neighborhoods with the rescue of people from prostitución, diseases or any extreme situation they were dealing with.

After Nazi Germany’s invasion of Czechoslovakia, Britain had to decide to what extent it would intervene should Hitler continue German expansion. Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain, at first indifferent to Hitler’s capture of the Sudetenland, the German-speaking area of Czechoslovakia, suddenly snapped to life when Poland became threatened. He made it plain that Britain would be obliged to come to the aid of Poland in the event of German invasion. But he wanted, and needed, an ally. The only power large enough to stop Hitler, and with a vested interest in doing so, was the Soviet Union. But Stalin was cool to Britain after its effort to create a political alliance with Britain and France against Germany had been rebuffed a year earlier. Plus, Poland’s leaders were less than thrilled with the prospect of Russia becoming its guardian; to them, it was simply occupation by another monstrous regime.
