∙ 12y agoThe main major event that got Britain and France involved in WWII was the invasion of Poland by the Nazis. The three countries, Britain, France, and Poland had an agreement that if any one of them was invaded the other two would attack Germany.

∙ 12y agoBecause:
1 - The British Government was unsatisfied with the conditions of the Peace of Amiens and with the international situation which it seemed having established.
2 - It appeared evident that Napoleon was determined to shut by any means he had at disposal the British influence out of Continent.
3 - British efforts to negotiate a new commercial agreement were coldly repealed by France.
4 - The France maintained even if not directly but as a matter of fact the control over Antwerp and the Scheldt Estuary, which thing was considered, in the long run, unacceptable to Great Britain, because the British have been regarding that control as vital for them for centuries. Thus they would have accepted such control but only if it had been in hand of a minor, actually neutral, Power.
5 - The enduring controversy on the colonial matter, worsened by French preparations for an expedition to India in 1803 and the British refusal to evacuate Malta.
On May 16, 1803 France declared war on Great Britain.

Why did Hitler target Britain and France so heavily in World War 2?
France and Great Britain were the first nations to declare war on Hitler after he invaded there ally Poland in 1939, which resulted in France been occupied one year later in 1940, because Russia was on the same side as the Nazis until Hitler betrayed them in 1941 and the USA remain neutral until the attack on pearl harbor the same year that meant Great Britain (one of the only European country's not to have been occupied by Hitler) and the rest of the British Empire were left fighting on there own against the Nazis for almost a full year, and when the USA finally did join the war they like the rest of the alleys used Great Britain as a base from which to attack the Nazis so Great Britain was Hitlers main target throughout most of the war, the reason France took so much of a beating is because it happed to be located directly between Great Britain and Nazi Germany meaning whenever one side made a direct attack on the other they had to drive through/fly over France to get there and as a result the country was transformed into one giant battleground.
