As I recall Britain was not ready to wage war in 1939. The so called phony war between 1939 and 1940 gave Britain time to prepare. Can't speak to the actions of the French.
Thank God and our brave leaders and armed forces that we prevailed in WW11.

Thank God indeed!
I bought a book about WWII that I absolutely love. It is called "A Question of Honor," and I highly reccomend it to anyone with even the slightest interest in history, the truth, or both. I must warn you, should you decide to read it, It is a very sad story. The website is:http://www.questionofhonor.com

The time for Britain and France to act was 1936 when Hitler militarized the Rhineland in violation of the Versailles Treaty. Hitler did not have the force to deal with what the French Army alone could have thrown at him. Instead, weary of conflict after WWI, they did nothing and waited until the Nazis had built up their forces, and then it was too late
