The Phoney War was a phase early in World War II that was marked by a lack of major military operations by the Western Allies against the German Reich. The phase was in the months following Britain and France's declaration of war on Germany (shortly after the German invasion of Poland) in September 1939 and preceding the Battle of France in May 1940. War was declared by each side, but no Western power had committed to launching a significant land offensive, notwithstanding the terms of the Anglo-Polish military alliance and the Franco-Polish military alliance, which obliged the United Kingdom and France to assist Poland.

∙ 13y agoThis primarily had to do with France. The Germans invaded France. Soon, the French surrendered. For the next number of months, absolutely nothing happened in France that would leave one to believe "a war was on". The French called it "the Phony War". But that changed, over time.

∙ 12y agoNo full war is referred to as the Phony War. The term describes the period between the German invasion of Poland in September 1939 which began World War II and the Battle of France in May 1940 when war had been declared, but none of the European Allies did anything to combat Germany.
