It depends on definition and WHEN.

In June 1941 the British commonwealth was the only warfaring party against the Axis, besides guerilla operations or small units within the British military.

In the beginning 1939-40, Czechoslovakia, Poland, Netherlands, Belgium, France, Norway and Denmark (with her union) were in short defence wars against Germany, but the government of non-occupied France was collaborating with the Axis.

The same happened to Yugoslavia and Greece in 1941.

Finland wasn't officially a part of an alliance, so she stood alone against the Soviet Union when attacking 1939 according to an agreement with Germany. When Soviet switched sides in 1941 due to Germany's operation Barbarossa, Finland fought against the Russians again, to recover losses, but after the peace treaty 1944 they fought Germans instead.

USA had early declared neutrality but declared war on Japan on 8/12 1941 followed by a war declaration by Germany, and China officially joined the allied side. But Soviet didn't declare war on Japan until 1945.

Brazil and Mexico also were in war with the Axis, and some of the other 18 American Union countries gave some support to the allies.

Ethiopia belonged to the allies (many African countries belonged to the British or French empires, and were partakers basically by default)

Fascist Portugal was officially neutral, but had a pact with Britain that stipulated some practical support. Sweden was officially neutral, but voluntary Swedes and sometimes even the government helped the Finns, had trade with both Axis and Allies, allowed German transport through the country, rescued Jews but deported Baltic refugees back to Stalin.

Italy changed sides after the overthrowing of Mussolini in 1943, when the country was partly invaded by the allies, partly harbouring German reinforcement troops, that started an occupation.

So there is no simple answer to it, but "the great four", that determined the conditions for the end of the war were UK, France, Soviet and US, and they were responsible for the occupation of Germany.
