They declared war on Germany.

Explanation:

Hitler attacked Poland on September 1st 1939. After earlier successes at seizing territory without any repercussions, for example the Rhineland, Sudetenland and Czechoslovakia, Hitler assumed that Britain and the West would again adopt a policy of appeasement.

He was wrong. On September 3rd after a warning issued to Germany, Britain and France declared war.
