Oh man your fucking retarded. If you think France gave up with no fight your dumb.
When the German attack on Poland on 1 September 1939 finally led Britain and France to declare war on Germany, King summoned Parliament to "decide," as he had pledged. Declaration of war was postponed for a week, during which Canada was formally neutral. The government announced that approval of the "Address in reply to the Speech from the Throne," which stated the government's decision to support Britain and France, would constitute approval of a declaration of war.
On September 9 the address was approved without a recorded vote, and war was declared the following day. The basis for parliamentary unity had in fact been laid in March, when both major parties accepted a program rejecting conscription for overseas service. King clearly envisaged a limited effort and was lukewarm towards an expeditionary force. Nevertheless, there was enough pressure to lead the Cabinet to dispatch one army division to Europe. The Allies' defeat in France and Belgium in the early summer of 1940 and the collapse of France frightened Canadians. The idea of limited and economical war went by the board, at which point the only limitation was the pledge against
overseas conscription. The armed forces were rapidly enlarged, conscription was introduced June 1940 for home defence (
see National Resources Mobilization Act), and expenditure grew enormously.
We were not under British rule anymore. But in ww1 we were. AND LOOK AT IT THIS WAY. THE ONLY FUCKING REASON WE WENT TO WAR WAS BECAUSE THEY INVADED POLAND FUCKIGN LEARN U TARD
