On September 1st 1939, German troops invaded Poland on the orders of Adolf Hitler. Britain and France had a defence agreement with Poland and demanded that German troops withdraw from Polish territory. The German government ignored the demand, so at 11.00am on Sunday 3rd September 1939, Britain and France declared war on Germany. The recording of Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain declaring war is quite moving.
Germany wanted to move East to get their land back that they lost after World War 1. They had conquered a few nations and then came the time to invade Poland. Britain and France promised Poland protection if they get in trouble with the Germans, so when Germany did invade Poland, Britain and France had no other choice but to declare war on Germany.

World War 2 had begun.
Britain and France had a defence agreement with Poland. On September 1st 1939, German troops invaded Poland. Britain and France issued an ultimatum to Germany saying that if German troops didn't withdraw from Poland immediately, 'a state of war would exist'. Germany ignored the demand so at 11.00 am on September 3rd 1939, Britain and France declared war on Germany.
