Originally at Italian-German statement of common interest, first used on Oct. 12, 1936. It was formally expanded into a military alliance, known as "The Pact of Steel" on May 22, 1939. The term "axis" came from Benito Mussolini's proclamation of the 1936 agreement as the axis around which states with common interests might collaborate. The Axis became enlarged when Japan, which had previously signed the Anti-Comitern Pact, adhered to an agreement for a 10 year military alliance with Germany & Italy on Sept. 27, 1940. Richard V.
