    What was the last country against which the UK officially declared war?

    Question #110173. Asked by gmackematix. (Oct 25 09 7:21 PM)


    BRY2K

    		The last time Britain actually declared war was in 1942 (on Siam, now Thailand, for allying with Japan) – but British troops have fought major operations on numerous occasions in the last sixty years, including four times under Tony Blair.

    On the ground a reconstruction mission can quickly turn to peace-making (e.g. Sierra Leone); a peace-keeping exercise can rapidly become active warfare (e.g. Bosnia, perhaps Darfur).
