The term "Phony War" refers to the early months of World War II, specifically from September 1939 to April 1940, when there was a lack of significant military operations on the Western Front after the initial invasion of Poland. Despite the declaration of war by Britain and France against Germany, there was little action, leading to a perception of inactivity and tension-filled anticipation. The name underscores the contrast between the state of war and the absence of fighting, creating an atmosphere of uncertainty and expectation.
