German soldiers disguised themselves as Polish soldiers and attacked a German radio station to give reasoning to invade Poland.
Poland in September, 1939. It was unprovoked even thought the Nazis staged a phony provocation.
The countries involved were Great Britain, France and Germany. The Phony War was actually not a war, but a lull in World War 2 which occured after the fall of Poland to Germany. Great Britain and France remained officially at war with Germany, but neither side made any great military moves toward the other, so it was called the Phony War.

The phony war.
Phony War.
the phony war was in England but it was the Germans that caused it.
When Britain and France declared war on Germany on September 3rd 1939, the expected bombing didn't start and for the civilian population it didn't seem as if there was a war happening. This lasted for about six months and was known as the Phoney War.
The first few months of World War 2 are known as 'The Phoney War'.
I have heard it called the Great War, the War of the Nations, the War against the Kaiser, and the War to end all Wars. It may have had other names before World War 1 came into common usage.
The Phony War was a period where there was no conflict between the western allies (Britain and France) and Germany.
