Solution

The correct option is B Germany attacking Poland
Germany, under the leadership of Hitler, attacked Poland on 1 September 1939 when Poland refused to hand over the port of Danzig. Britain had a defence pact with Poland. In response to Germany’s attack on Poland, Britain declared war against Germany. Meanwhile, Germany defeated Poland and captured Danzig. The rivalry between Germany and England paved way for the Second World War.
