1) September 3, 1939.
2) Between September 7, 1940, and May 16, 1941. This was called the Blitz.
3) August 4, 1914. - I'll explain this in just a moment.
4) November 14, 1940. Coventry was bombed. The city was targeted due to its high concentration of armaments, munitions and engine plants which contributed greatly to the British war effort.
5) Britain acted with pride. Following the WW2 bombing in Coventry, they built a new Cathedral. The old one was bombed. Coventry suffered more damage than any other British city during the Nazi attacks, with giant fire storms devastating most of the city center.

It's funny, really. I am learning the same thing in school right now. It is very interesting... I guess all of the WWII video games I played really payed off, plus I research WWII as a hobby.

For question 3 - Remember, after the Treaty of Versailles, France blamed Germany for WWI because they hated each other so incredibly much. After WWI, Germany decided to war with France. Britain joined the fight because they were allies with France - the Triple Entente.

Hope this helps!
