World War II began in what is now Ukraine in 1939 with a Soviet invasion into territory then controlled by Poland in western Ukraine, at a time when the Soviet Union and Nazi Germany were in a military alliance.

World War II began July 7th, 1937. You could possibly pick an earlier time, but no later.

Czechia and Austria were invaded first and that signaled the start of the war.

“It had nothing to do with bringing the U.K. into the war.”

Nonsense. The British declared war on Germany within 2 days of them invading Poland, because they were allies. It wasn’t some “secret alliance”, everyone, including the Germans, knew what would happen.
