Best Answer

Both nations wanted more land for their own colonies in the Americas. The British also wanted to defend the lands of British and Irish settlers and friendly Native American tribes from French invasion. The French exploited the tribal rivalry between different native tribes in order to get some Native American tribes to side with them.

The French and British had an alliance with Poland which said that whichever country was attacked, the other two would declare war on the attacking country. Poland was attacked by Germany on September 1, 1939, and France and Great Britain honored their commitment to Poland.
