Solution

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