What three countries that opposed Germany in World War 2?
there was more than one country, actually. America opposed them, as did England and France. France gave in i believe only a month after they fought with Germany, but England withstood a year of constant bombings. every day the Germans would fly their planes over bases, cities, and what have you, and bombed them for a year! America didn't even join the war until Japan attacked pearl harbor. They [America] had had an isolationist way, but they helped England with the war however they could.
How were Britain and France drawn into war with Germany in 1939?
On 1 September 1939 Germany invaded Poland, and two days later Britain and France declared war on Germany because they had a treaty with Poland in which they had undertaken to help Poland if its independence was threatened by force.They wanted to stop Germany before it became too powerful. Poland was just an excuse, the British showed how little they cared about Poland in 1945. The Soviets also invaded Poland in 1939, and nobody declared war on them. (The previous month, August 1939, the Nazis and Soviets made several secret agreements. One of the was the partition of Poland between Germany and Russia.)They had the treaty to protect Poland, but when Germany invaded Poland they didn't do anything about it therefore backing out of their treaty with Poland. but that's when France went to Britain to ask if they could help the polish and Britain said yes. so that is why France and Britain declared war on Germany.These comments are very valid. European leadership(including the United States) did not want Germany to become a powerful nation following WWI. Politically and economically many countries were insecure about German unity built on the "Volk".While all of the above points are valid, another reason France and Great Britain went to war with Germany is because they had already gotten Germany to agree twice (Munich Agreement 1938) not to invade any more places, but Germany had broken both of these agreements, so this was the "third strike".Britain and France had never wanted to declare war on Germany, full stop. They didn't want to cause another world war one where both side would lose yet another generation of young men. So they tried to use diplomacy to retain peace in Europe. Hitler felt when he took power in 1933 that the Slavs and the east was the true enemy to the Germans and tried to get an alliance with Britain against communism as in his book "mein kaumf". But when they declined, Hitler invaded Poland on September 1st. Originally it was set for 21st August but was put back because of the weather. But on the 23rd, Britain, France and Poland signed a treaty that created an alliance between these counties. When the Germans invaded Poland, Britain gave Germany 48 hours to pull out or a state of war would exist between the two counties. So at 12.00 on 3rd September after no response to the ultimatum was heard Britain declared war followed by France at 15.45Britain was unable to do anything practical to help Poland. Britain had no direct access to Eastern Central Europe. At best Britain could have helped by proxy, for example if they, together with the French, had attacked Germany in the West. It has sometimes been pointed out that the declaration of war in 1939 was a moral gesture or some kind of grandstanding or possibly an attempt of some kind to "put right" the mistake of the previous year at Munich. The actual "casus belli" or grounds for war weren't well chosen. (In May 1939, Churchill and Lloyd George had expressed doubts about the guarantee to Poland when it came before Parliament. Churchill suggested that Britain had chosen the wrong ally, and that it would make better sense to try to negotiate a treaty with the Soviet Union).
Who fought for the Poland?
The Polish fought for themselves. The UK and France entered the war because they made an agreement that they would not tolerate Hitler taking Germany. However no one expected Germany to be able to totally take Poland in a month so it took a while for the UK and France to respond.
How did Canada first respond when Britain declared war?
World War I:When Great Britain declared war on Germany on August 4th, 1914 Canada's status as subservient to Great Britain meant that it too was now at war.World War II:Britain declared war on Germany after the German invasion of Poland on September 1st, 1939. Canada followed suit, one week after Great Britain, on the tenth of the month.
How many british soldiers killed on the first day of battle of somme?
I would say almost certainly none. Britain declared war on Germany because Germany invaded Belgium. The Treaty of London, in the 1830s, had been signed by Britain, France, Russia and Prussia, and Germany was the successor state to Prussia, and Germany was ruled in 1914 by the Prussian Dynasty which had signed the Treaty. This Treaty, made when Belgium was a new nation, guaranteed the perpetual neutrality of Belgium, situated as Belgium is on the traditional invasion route in Europe since Roman times. By 1914 an entire generation of Germany Army staff officers had been planning an invasion through Belgium to get at France, in the event of war with France, because since France was now allied with Russia, war with France would also mean war with Russia for Germany, the dreaded two front war, in both east and west. So it would be necessary to defeat France quickly, and the Treaty was thus very inconvenient in these changed circumstances. When reminded by the British of their obligations under this Treaty in 1914, when Britain demanded that Germany cease its invasion of Belgium and withdraw, the German Foreign Minister denounced the Treaty as a "scrap of paper". The Declaration of War followed shortly. But Britain was not a formal ally of any nation. The farthest they had gone in that direction was some commercial agreements, and to hold informal talks between the staff of the British Army and the staff of the French Army to do some planning in the event war broke out with the ever more menacing Germany. This was an odd development, because Britain and France were ancient enemies, for centuries, while Britain and Germany had close ties. The current British Dynasty (then and now) was originally from Hanover, Germany, and when they came to Britain around 1720, they still reigned over portions of Germany. The Kaiser of Germany and the British King were first cousins, both grandsons of Queen Victoria. The result of the informal staff talks between the British and French staffs was that Britain agreed to send an "expeditionary force" to France in the event of war with Germany. This expeditionary force was to be of six divisions, a tiny number of men in the terms of the war just beginning, but most of what the Kaiser called England's "contemptible little army". England did have only a small army, alone among the nations of Europe not having compulsory, mandatory military service for its young men, with the Royal Navy for centuries being the crucial force for the national survival of Britain. The British would continue to rely on volunteers for a year and a half of WWI. So it took a few weeks for the BEF (British Expeditionary Force) to get ready to go, get on ships and cross the English Channel to France, and march toward the front, where the 70 divisions of the German invaders were bearing down on Paris. And it was the middle of the month of August before their first combat, and the first loss of life.
