The correct option is A German invasion of Poland
The Second World War started when Germany attacked Poland on 1 September 1939. Germany did not heed warnings from Britain and France to discontinue the war immediately. Hence, in response, Britain declared war against Germany.

Japan bombed Peal Harbour during the heat of the Second World War. America bombed Hiroshima and Nagasaki in Japan in 1945.
