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.
