This was known as the "Sitzkreig" (German sitting war) or "Phony War". There were no major military engagements in Western Europe. The Germans had concentrated the majority of their forces on Poland, and in the Norwegian theater. Both Allied and German forces were reluctant to begin an actual war, preferring to marshal forces and materiel. This delay worked to the advantage of the Germans, who in May of 1940 turned the brunt of their forces loose on France and the Low Countries, overwhelming the French and British defenders and forcing their evacuation or capture. (This was the Blitzkreig, the opposite of the Sitzkreig.)
