Some records suggest that the number was over 4 million but most of them agree on 2.5 to 4 million.
The Allies of World War II were the countries officially opposed to the Axis powers during the Second World War. Within the ranks of the Allied powers, the British Empire, the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics, and the United States of America were known as "The Big Three". U.S. President Franklin D. Roosevelt referred to the Big Three and China as the "Four Policemen". Poland and France, before its defeat in 1940 and after Operation Torch, were considered major allies. During December 1941, Roosevelt devised the name "United Nations" for the Allies, and the Declaration by United Nations, on 1 January 1942, was the basis of the modern UN. At the Potsdam Conference of July-August 1945, Roosevelt's successor, Harry S. Truman, proposed that the foreign ministers of China, France, the Soviet Union, the United Kingdom and the United States "should draft the peace treaties and boundary settlements of Europe," which led to the creation of the Council of Foreign Ministers.

∙ 16y agoThe major Allies were calculated, in all there is 47'996'659 soldiers that fought for the allies in World War 2. The major allies were: The U.S., Great Britain (UK), Russia, Canada, China, Australia and france. And despite the number of soldiers that were in the war for the major allies, there were so many soldiers for each territory that it was supposed to be estimated. So I calculated each estimate. If I add the other allies implicated in the war like: Belgium, Greece, India, New Zealand, Norway, Poland, South Africa and Yugoslavia it gives a total of (with the major allies too): 55'377'550 soldiers.
Some places that I couldn't find were Holland and Luxembourg so they weren't calculated in the total... If you find them please calculate with my answer or feel free to do another answer =) !
