Today is the 76th anniversary of the day Neville Chamberlain, prime minister of Britain, announced, in answer to Britain's ultimatum to withdraw troops from Poland, "I have to tell you now, that no such undertaking has been received, and consequently this country is at war with Germany."
Britain declared on war on Germany on behalf of a number of empire countries, without consulting the country's government - India, for example - strengthening those countries' quest for independence.
Canada, as an independent country, declared war on Germany on September 10th.
