The war started for Britain on 3rd September 1939 when Germany on 1st September 1939 invaded Poland. The reason England got involved was that we had a pact with Poland that if someone invaded them, we help, and vice versa. France also declared war on Germany because France was one of our allies.

In September 1939 Britain declared war on Germany. France, Belgium, the Netherlands, Poland and other countries fought against Hitlers men and later, against Italy. In 1941, the Russians and America joined the war on the Allied side, and Japan joined the war on the Axis side (the alliance of Germany and other nations). This made the war fought right around the world. WWII finally ended in 1945.
