AnswerWrong. Italy was an ally of Germany.

Italy had fought in North Africa since 1935. They lead the fighting against the British even after Germany sent troops there. It wasn't until 1941 that German Gen. Rommel took command.

In 1939, they agreed to join Germany as an ally and Hitler promised not to start a war for 3 years. Italy needed resources for their factories to build up more war supplies; trucks, planes, tanks. Their armies were tired and worn out. But Hitler broke his promise and launched the invasion of Poland a few weeks after they became allies. Italy never recovered. The people got tired of loosing their husbands and sons in battles in Africa and Stalingrad. They began to turn against Mussolini so that he was eventually removed from office.

The Italians never wanted to be allied with German Nazis. It was their leader, Mussolini, who wanted to ally himself with the Nazis. The Italians did not want to fight with the Nazis but they knew they would be killed by the Nazis if they did not fight for them. When the Americans, Brits and others arrived the Italians surrendered and let the Allied leaders know the Italians were on the Allied Forces side. The Italian populace was able to take down Mussolini and defeat the Nazis with the help of the Allied Forces.

Italy surrendered because the people never really wanted war and were glad to be rid of Mussolini. The Germans surrendered because they had no option, their air force was gone,their Army was totally beaten. The Japanese surrendered because they were worried about nuclear annihilation.
