Germany
Main article: Canadian declaration of war on Germany



Prime Minister Mackenzie King's request to King George VI for approval that war be declared against Germany, 10 September 1939.

After Germany invaded Poland on September 1, 1939, the United Kingdom and France declared war on September 3. [2] [3] To assert Canada's independence from the UK, as already established by the Statute of Westminster 1931, Canada's political leaders decided to seek the approval of the federal parliament to declare war. [1] [2] [4] [5] Parliament was not scheduled to return until October 2, but returned to session early on September 7 to consider the declaration of war. [2] [3] [4] [5] [6]

On September 9, the House of Commons and Senate approved authorization for a declaration of war. The Cabinet then drafted an Order in Council to that effect. On September 10, Vincent Massey, Canada's High Commissioner to the United Kingdom, brought the document to King George VI, at the Royal Lodge, Windsor Great Park, for his signature, [7] [8] whereupon Canada had officially declared war on Germany. [2] [3] [4] [5] [6] [9] In his capacity as the government's official recorder for the war effort, Leonard Brockington noted: "King George VI of England [ sic] did not ask us to declare war for him—we asked King George VI of Canada to declare war for us." [10] [11] [12]
