Officially, World War 2 started on 1 September 1939. However, Japan had invaded parts of China in 1931 and again in 1937.

In the 1930's, Britain and France had a defence agreement with Poland.

On 1 September 1939, Germany attacked Poland, so on 3 September 1939, Britain and France both declared war on Germany. The United States became militarily involved when they declared war on Japan on 8 December 1941 - the day after the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbour. Germany declared war on the US on 11 December 1941.
