War World II was spawned by a major economic depression, a single man's - Adolph Hitler's - mesmeric will to do evil, and a rather sluggish response by his subsequent opponents. The aggressive policies of the Axis powers (Germany, Italy, and Japan) culminated in the seizure of Bohemia and Moravia in March 1939. When Hitler attacked Poland on September 1, 1939, England and France declared war. This time, Britain at war meant that most members of the Commonwealth were at war and so once again Canada took up arms.
