Which of the following was not one of the major events of World War II prior to December 1941?

A.

Democratic countries in Europe appeased Hitler by letting Hitler take the Sudetenland, Czechoslovakia, and Austria.

B.

Germany invaded Poland, bringing Great Britain, France, and the United States into the war.

C.

Japan occupied Manchuria and other parts of China.

D.

Japan invaded French Indochina and threatened Thailand, the Philippines, and other Pacific nations.

You have to remember the war began in September 1939 in Europe. The United States was not involved as anything but a discreet supplier of arms until Pearl Harbor. So B is incorrect. The US didn't come into the war until after Pearl Harbor. (Dec. 1941). So that is the false part of the statement.

Answer:

B. Germany invaded Poland, bringing Great Britain, France, and the United States into the war.

Explanation:

Option B seems to be correcct at first sight because the invasion to Poland was the trigger to lead the Allies to war, however the United States went into war in Dcember 1941 after the attack at Pearl Harbor on December 7. To sum up, it is false that the invasion to Poland was the cause to bring Great Britain, France and the United States into war prior to December 1941 because United States only brought into war during December 1941.
