Question: If England had went to war with Germany when Churchill FIRST
called for it, way before England was attacked and just after Poland

Your grasp of history is breathtaking.  That's exactly when we did go to
war against Germany - a couple of days after the invasion of Poland.  I
thought everyone knew that. Evidently there's at least one American who
doesn't.

You are correct that I mispoke. However, I once again prove my ability
to admit a mistake.

Once again? I hope you're keeping count of those.

You might consult your memory, however, and note that the just of what
I was saying is true.
From Wikipedia:
Soon, though, his attention was drawn to the rise of Adolf Hitler and
the dangers of Germany's rearmament. For a time, he was a lone voice
calling on Britain to strengthen itself to counter the belligerence of
Germany.[25] Churchill was a fierce critic of Neville Chamberlain's
appeasement of Hitler, leading the wing of the Conservative Party that
opposed the Munich Agreement which Chamberlain famously declared to
mean "peace in our time".[26]

Had they acted sooner...
