Why Japan formally rejected Poland's declaration of war during the Second World War
In short: When Poland declared war on Japan alongside the Allied powers, Japan did not ignore the move. Instead, the Japanese government issued a formal refusal, asserting that no state of war existed between the two nations. This video explains the diplomatic reasoning behind this unusual international response.

The Japanese government responded by informing Poland that their assessment of the situation was incorrect and that no war was taking place between them.
