"It's so perfect as a great and cherished state. Keeping, 'Oh, Canada,' the national anthem, I love it. I think it's great. Keep it. But it'll be for the state."
You missed 3 events. The fucking POS Hitler threw the entire German army into Poland leaving a token force to protect the western border and the French could have easily marched into Berlin. In addition, the French and British completely failed to help Poland. If you read the Polish campaign after action reports, from the German field commanders, they revealed severe deficiencies and recommended halting all offensive operations until 1943 to make the improvements. All of it was ignored, the best Wehrmacht generals were sent to desk duty and only the yes officers were given command. Sounds familiar? The perfect recipe for losing.

Yeah the British and French made some serious mistakes early on.
