Why was there little fighting during phoney war

Since there was almost no fighting and no bombs dropped during the first six months of the war, it was dubbed the "Phoney War." This gave the government more time to defend the United Kingdom against an attack.

Explanation:

Britain wasn't armamentarily ready for war just yet even though they were in the beginning of it.

Explanation:

Britain needed to continue trading internationally (especially with the U.S.) to simulate the economy to thus build machines to produce more weapons.
