The military history of the United Kingdom in World War II covers the Second World War against the Axis powers, starting on 3 September 1939 with the declaration of war by the United Kingdom and France, followed by the UK's Dominions and Crown colonies, on Nazi Germany in response to the invasion of Poland by Germany. There was little, however, the Anglo-French alliance could do or did do to help Poland. The Phoney War culminated in April 1940 with the German invasion of Denmark and Norway. Winston Churchill became prime minister and head of a coalition government in May 1940. The defeat of other European countries followed – Belgium, the Netherlands, Luxembourg and France – alongside the British Expeditionary Force which led to the Dunkirk evacuation.

  • El papel del Reino Unido de Gran Bretaña e Irlanda del Norte durante la Segunda Guerra Mundial fue trascendental. El primer ministro británico durante gran parte de la contienda, Winston Churchill, tuvo una postura firme y clara, en la cual jamás se rendiría y lucharía hasta el final por la derrota del enemigo. De hecho, fue el único país (sin contar a Australia y Nueva Zelanda) que luchó en toda la guerra, desde el 3 de septiembre de 1939 hasta el 2 de septiembre de 1945. (es)

  • La storia militare del Regno Unito durante la seconda Guerra Mondiale copre il periodo del secondo conflitto mondiale che vide il Regno Unito contrapporsi alle Potenze dell'Asse, a partire dal 3 settembre 1939, quando britannici e francesi, assieme alla maggior parte dei dominion e delle colonie britanniche, dichiararono guerra alla Germania in risposta all'invasione della Polonia. Nei mesi successivi, nonostante la caduta della Francia, due eventi si rivelarono determinanti per la continuazione della guerra: il primo è la nomina di Winston Churchill a Primo ministro e capo di un Governo di coalizione nel maggio 1940, il secondo è il salvataggio di buona parte della Forza di spedizione britannica con l'evacuazione di Dunkirk. Successivamente, l'invasione pianificata della Gran Bretagna fal (it)
