Robert E. Lee was reluctant to fight in the Civil War primarily due to his deep sense of loyalty to Virginia and his belief in the preservation of the Union. He harbored strong reservations about the morality and consequences of secession, viewing it as a painful and divisive path. Additionally, Lee was a professional soldier who valued duty and honor, and he was conflicted about leading troops against a country he had served for most of his life. Ultimately, he chose to fight for the Confederacy out of loyalty to his home state, despite his personal misgivings.

What event made Britain and France so reluctant to fight in world war 2?

The great depression was a major factor because Britain and France could really afford another war. Also Britain kept having hollow treaties with Germany and that made it impossible for France to declare war because if they did they would not be able to attack Germany without help from Britain. Also France had lost millions of men in world war 1 and the people of France were reluctant to fight again even though they did eventually.
