After Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain's declaration of "peace for our time" in September 1938, following the Munich Agreement and the appeasement of Adolf Hitler, tensions in Europe escalated rapidly.

These aggressive moves culminated in Germany's invasion of Poland on September 1, 1939, prompting Britain and France to declare war on Germany, thus marking the outbreak of World War II.
