War was declared by the UK and France over Hitler's invasion of Poland on September 1, 1939. But neither country was well prepared to counter Germany. They were still unprepared when France was invaded in May, 1940. British troops sent to aid Belgium fared poorly and had to be evacuated from Dunkirk.
