Question 11 • World History and Geography

What caused Great Britain and France to declare war on Germany in 1939?

Answer
A
the appeasement policy
B
the nonaggression pact
C
the invasion of Poland
D
the surrender of Poland

Explanation

Germany invaded Poland on September 1, 1939. Great Britain and France had pledged to support Poland, so they declared war on Germany two days later. The correct choice is the invasion of Poland; the nonaggression pact was an agreement between Germany and the Soviet Union, not the direct cause of the declarations of war.
