Question

which county was not a scene of early fighting in world war ii? france italy poland

Explanation:

To determine which country was not a scene of early fighting in World War II, we analyze the early stages of WWII:

• Poland: Germany invaded Poland in 1939, marking the start of WWII in Europe, so Poland had early fighting.
• France: Germany invaded France in 1940, which was part of the early - mid stages of the war in Europe, so France had fighting.
• Italy: Italy was initially part of the Axis powers and its main combat activities in the early stages of WWII were more focused on later expansions (like in North Africa which started a bit later) and its internal role in the Axis. In the very early fighting of WWII (around 1939 - early 1940), Italy was not a scene of major early fighting compared to Poland and France.
