There were many reasons, but the biggest that I recall is that Germany had defeated France in 1870 in a war, and had claimed the two French territories: Alsace and Lorraine. The French had vowed that one day the would reclaim the lost provinces, at no matter what cost. If it claimed its revenge, it would also prove to the rest of the world that the French were still a force to be reckoned with.

When World War 2 started which countries were first to participate in the war?

Well the war started in 1939 when Germany invaded Poland. To avoid war with Russia from the beginning Hitler made a deal with Russia. So at the beginning of the war Russia didnt come in. (They did come in in 1941 when Germany invaded them) Britain and France were allies with Poland so they declared war on Germany. The US didnt come in until 1942 so the US is a no and Italy was a German ally and was fighting in the Greece and North Africa. So Britain, Germany, Italy, and France were the only countries in the start of the war.
