Why did Britain go to war over Poland in 1939?

Britain and France both had a defence agreement with Poland. When Germany attacked Poland on 1st September 1939, Britain and France both declared war on Germany two days later but their actions did absolutely nothing to help Poland.


Where did the war that went on in 1939 when France declared war on Germany take place?

France was not the only country that went to war with Germany. Britain and America also helped. However, France went to war with Germany because Germany had invaded most of France. So the allied powers(America, Britain, and France) attacked Germany. On June 6 1944. that day was called D-day.(or operation overload) when America invated Germany and caused Germany to surrender. Not strictly true. Britain and France declared war on Germany on 3 September 1939 - two days after Germany had invaded Poland. Germany didn't attack France until April !940. Germany declared war on the United States on 11 December 1941.


Why did the declare war on Germany?

I presume you are talking about WW2. Britain & France had a treaty with Poland to ensure Poland's safety and when Germany invaded Poland in 1939 this treaty was violated and therefore Britain & France had no option but to go to Poland's aid


Which was more important as a reason for Great Britain joining World War I?

The more important reason for Britain joining World War 1 was the Schlieffen Plan, that Germany had written up. The plan involved Germany attacking on two fronts; Russia and France. Almost immediately this would of set sparks off within the Triple Entente; Great Britain, Russia and France. The biggest fault of the plan was that Germany would have to go through Belgium to attack France. In 1839, Britain signed a treaty with France stating that they would help Belgium, who were neutral, if they were ever invaded. With Germany wanting to pass through Belgium, Britain were forced to declare war on Germany, something which the Germans had not expected at all. If Britain had left it, essentially Germany would of invaded both France and Belgium, and then would of been able to invade Britain from the South. Germany could of won World War One if Great Britain didn't attack.


When did Germany and England go to war in World War 2?

Britain and Germany have gone to war twice, in 1914 and 1939. In both cases Britain declared war.Britain has fought wars in Germany many time before that, for example during the Napoleonic wars. But Germany did not exist as a country before 1870. These earlier wars were against one or more independent German states.


Who were the first 2 countries to go to war?

Well, it was Germany and Poland who were the first to fight in it, but it was really four countries that went to war at the same time. Britain, France, Germany, and Poland were the four.


Why did the UK involve in the two world wars?

In both cases, because Germany attacked countries with which the UK had alliances or to whom she had given guarantees. In 1914, when Germany attacked France via Belgium, Britain, as a member of the Triple Entente (Britain, France and Russia), was obliged to go to the defense of France. In March 1939, after Hitler had broken the 1938 Munich Agreement and occupied Czechoslovakia, Britain and France gave guarantees to Poland that they would go to war with Germany if Hitler attacked Poland, which, of course, happened on September 1, 1939. After Germany ignored Britain's ultimatum to withdraw from Poland, she declared war on Germany on September 3.
