World War 2 began earlier for Britain and Europe than it did for the USA; Britain entered the war on 3rd September 1939 after Hitler invaded Poland in breach of the Munich Agreement. At the time, the PM was Sir Neville Chamberlain- he sent an enormous British Expeditionary Force to support the French from Nazi invasion, but was forced to resign his office in February 1940 after Britain's disastrous retreat from Dunkirk.
He was replaced by Winston Churchill, who was in office until the end of the war in Europe in 1945 at the head of a Coalition Government. He was replaced in the General Election of May '45 by Clement Attlee, a Labour Prime Minister who was in office when the war ended against Japan.
