The Allies did not "control" countries like the Axis did. The Axis occupied countries because their goal was to control the government. The Allies liberated countries, meaning they set them free from Axis rule and back into their own control. When the Allies "lost" land, it meant that they were defending another country and the Germans took that country over. When, for example, the USSR "lost" land, it just means the Germans pushed them back.
Enemies of USA during WWII were Germany, Italy (for a small time) , and Japan (ALL AXIS) The Allies (USA's allies) were Great Britain, France, Poland, Italy (switched sides) , Greece, and Canada to name a few. Good thing I took that AP European History class!

Hi Although we still refer to the US as having "allies" (most notably Britain, France, Germany and Japan, the terms Allied and Axis powers refers strictly to World War 2 when the Axis powers were Germany, Italy and Japan, and the Allies were pretty much everyone else. In VietNam, the fighting was solely between VietNamese soldiers known as the Viet Cong, and American forces. No allies, no axis. Phil
All Axis conquered countries were contested (fought over) until the Axis retreated from them. Allied Forces controlled all of them; with the exception of the Axis nations themselves (Germany & Japan) until 1945. So allies did not control most of the land some were neutral. the main countries allies had were Britain, Russia(soviet union), USA, Canada, Egypt,
The Axis forces defended the coastline of France. Most of them were Nazi Germans. The advancing forces were the Allied Forces. See the story of the Normandy invasion to learn how troops were moved and made their way through France on the attached links. Watch the movies They Longest Day, Saving Private Ryan, and The Band of Brothers to get all the detail you need. See links below.
The term of "Allies" was the most often used term to describe the coalition of countries opposed to the Axis powers. Another similar term was "allied forces". Each term means the same thing.
World War 2 was a global military conflict lasting from 1939 to 1945 which involved most of the world's nations, including all of the great powers, organised into two opposing military alliances: the Allies and the Axis.
first we will start with the axis. there were the Nazis, Italians (they dropped out of the war in 1943), and japanese. the allies had the US, Canada, britain, and most of the other countries in europe.
The Allies did not "control" countries like the Axis did. The Axis occupied countries because their goal was to control the government. The Allies liberated countries, meaning they set them free from Axis rule and back into their own control. When the Allies "lost" land, it meant that they were defending another country and the Germans took that country over. When, for example, the USSR "lost" land, it just means the Germans pushed them back.
The Soviet Union played a major role; the vast majority of Axis forces were engaged against Russia for most of the war. The Russians killed more German soldiers than all the other Allies combined.
In World War 2 there were the Allies and the AxisAllied CountriesAt the start of the war the Allied nations were the United Kingdom and the Commonwealth nations, France and Poland but in 1939 Poland was annexed by Germany and in 1940 France fell to Germany, from 1940 to 1941 Britain and the Commonwealth fought the Axis powers alone.After the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor and declaration of war by Germany, The United States of America joined the war on the side of the Allies in 1941.In 1941 the Soviet Union was invaded by Germany and the Soviet Union joined the with the Allies, (Should be noted that the Soviet Union only aligned itself with the Allies in the interest of defeating Germany the Axis forces, relations between the the Allies and the Soviet Union where dubious at best).Axis forcesFrom 1939 to 1945, Germany was the biggest and most powerful Axis member in Europe.Italy joined the war in 1940 on Axis side but swapped sides in 1943 to the Allies after Benito Mussolini was disposed. Japan was an Axis member since 1937 but only joined the war actively in 1941 with the attack on Pearl Harbor
