The axis powers had been preparing for war for several years. The allies had not been.
yes
Poland.
Basically, the Axis power strategy was to win and dominate the world. Thankfully, they failed and, in 2017, let us hope that no other country tries to take over the world!
The Axis powers were trying to take over other nations. Germany wanted to control Europe, Japan wanted to control the Islands of the Pacific. Allied powers wanted to stop them.
The Axis powers never won the battle for Stalingrad which turned into a significant defeat for the Axis forces from which they never recovered .
The Axis: Germany, Japan and Italy
They were not part of Allied powers, but had an alliance as the Axis powers.
In World War II (as well as for some years prior), the major Axis powers were three in number and were located in Europe and in Asia. The two European "majors" were Germany and Italy, while the Asian "major" was Imperial Japan.
Pretty simple. When people disagree, they take two sides. In this case, it was the Allies vs the Axis Powers
Because if Japan expanded, the Axis powers might actually be able to take over the Allies and that would be bad.
the allies thought if they didnt stop the axis in Europe that they could take over the world
