What to do?

• Britain and France declare they WILL have war
  with Germany if the Germans dont withdraw Right

• Unfortunately Britain and France are not ready to
  fight. They must raise, equip, train and
  position their armies. That takes time..

everything you do VERY Carefully. I am not
accepting late work on this assignment as we must
present the posters on Friday. If it isnt on

isnt much point in doing it. If you think you
