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.
Hitlers last offensive against the western allies (Russia (USSR) was Germany's primary enemy and was an Eastern enemy of Germany).
Quite simply the Red Army got to Berlin before the Western Allies. The Western Allies were bogged-down in western Germany and had been held-back by the battle of the bulge and the harsh Ardennes winter in 1944.
During World War II, Germany's last serious attempt to defeat the Allies through offensive military action was the Battle of the Bulge. In mid-December of 1944, German forces surprised American troops in the Ardennes region of Europe and drove westwards for 60 miles before being contained then pushed back to their starting lines by the end of January 1945.
Because they were defeated in battle, and their countries were occupied by the Allies.
Germany first failed to win the Battle of Britain, then Germany failed to capture Moscow, finally Germany lost the Battle of Stalingrad and Germany began the slow, but, steady retreat back to Berlin.
