France and Great Britain were the first nations to declare war on Hitler after he invaded there ally Poland in 1939, which resulted in France been occupied one year later in 1940, because Russia was on the same side as the Nazis until Hitler betrayed them in 1941 and the USA remain neutral until the attack on pearl harbor the same year that meant Great Britain (one of the only European country's not to have been occupied by Hitler) and the rest of the British Empire were left fighting on there own against the Nazis for almost a full year, and when the USA finally did join the war they like the rest of the alleys used Great Britain as a base from which to attack the Nazis so Great Britain was Hitlers main target throughout most of the war, the reason France took so much of a beating is because it happed to be located directly between Great Britain and Nazi Germany meaning whenever one side made a direct attack on the other they had to drive through/fly over France to get there and as a result the country was transformed into one giant battleground.

Was Dunkirk a miracle or defeat?
It was a miracle for the Allies and defeat for the Germans since there was a thick fog at that time the Luftwaffe was unable to target the British troops and more than 350,000 british troops were rescued by any kind of boat possible (merchant boat fishing boat, etc.) from UK. Hitler could've taken out most of the British army and the outcome of the war could've significantly changed. The Repatriation of over 330 000 Allied soldiers to UK in the summer of 1940 was miraculous. But as Churchill said 'Wars are not won by evacuations'. Hitler was reluctant to commit his armour, it was all he had at the time & France still remained in being as a fighting force.....

What was Britain's response to the rise of Nazi Germany?
AnswerBritain was very relaxed on it's standpoint with Hitler's rising status in Germany. Britain had just been through a devastating war with Germany and wanted to do everything possible to avoid another. Hitler began rearming its navy, airforce, and army which was forbiddened by the Versailles Treaty of 1918, Britain allowed it to stay away from war. When Hitler invaded the Rhineland, Stutenland, and Autria, Britain allowed it to avoid war again. But when Hitler later invaded the rest of Czechoslovakia claiming that that was all they would do, Britain allowed it but feared he wasn't telling the truth and saw that Poland was the next of Hitler's target so they and France signed a treaty with Poland. On Sept. 1, 1939, Hitler invaded Poland and Britain and France honored their treaty with Poland an declared war on Germany.Submitted by Mark Webb St. Louis, MissouriChurchill provided the lone voice inveighing against Hitler and the rise of the Nazi party as a threat to British security. That is why, when war did break out, he was appointed First Lord of the Admiralty, and eventually Prime Minister.

Why was the battle of Britain started in the first place?
After Germany invaded Poland, Britain and France declared war on Germany, starting the Second World War. No much happened for a bit after that, so it was called the Phoney War in Britain. But then Germany invaded France, and Belgium and the Netherlands as well, comprehensively defeating Britain and France, leading to the withdrawal and evacuation at Dunkirk. At this point Germany had basically complete control of mainland Europe, and Britain, which refused to surrender, was the natural next target for Hitler. The Germans knew that if the Royal Air Force was at full strength, it would be able to easily prevent the German invasion. So, the German Luftwaffe set about to cripple the RAF, attacking the Air bases and trying to destroy the British planes. At this point, the Battle of Britain, between the RAF and the Luftwaffe, had begun.
