Allied forces took over various places that the Germans controlled in WW2. These areas were known as Allied occupied areas.
Even if you add up all the little Pacific islands controlled at one time by Japan, and throw in Spain ("controlled" by Germany) and Ethiopia ("controlled" by Italy), plus the nations of Japan, Germany and Italy, and all the occupied areas of Europe, such as Poland, part of France, Belgium, Holland, etc. you don't get anywhere near the land area "controlled" by the Allies. Russia alone probably exceeds the combined land area of the axis nations, and perhaps England alone, considering that at the time England "controlled" not only the British Isles but Canada, South Africa, India and Australia (and maybe a few smaller members of the commonwealth that I've forgotten.
The Germans didn't let the "free French" government run anything. It was known as the Free French government IN EXILE because they had to get out of France and all German-controlled areas. The only government the NAZIs recognized in France was the one that was allied with Germany, the Vichy gov't.

In 1948 in Korea, the Communists controlled the northern half of the country and the US-Allied Capitalist Dictators controlled the southern half of the country. After the Korean War in 1953, this situation was preserved. In the 1980s, the Capitalist Dictators in the south gave way to a democracy.In 1954 in Vietnam, the Communists controlled the northern half of the country and the US-Allied Capitalist Dictators controlled the southern half of the country. After the Vietnam War in 1975, the Communists were able to unite the entire country and remain in power to this day.

1. To knock Italy out of the war. 2. To keep up the pressure on Germany and to keep German troops pinned down while building up Allied forces in the United Kingdom in preparation for the cross channel attack.. 3. To make use of the Allied troops in North Africa which would otherwise be idle. 4. To insure total Allied control of the Mediterranean and unrestricted access to and from the Suez canal. 5. To gain air bases from which Allied bombers could reach German areas beyond the range of Allied air units station in the United Kingdom.
Thrown out of their jobs, rounded up, put into ghettos, deported, beaten and killed.
During World War II, the "D-Day" event was important for primarily one reason: it began the Allied re-conquest of the European continent. While Allied troops had already landed in Italy, all eyes were focused on the more important areas in Western Europe still held by strong German forces. On June 6th of 1944 -- D-Day -- that hold began to break with the Allied invasion of Normandy.

After World War II, Germany was occupied by American, British, French and Russian military forces. The German city of Berlin, which was completely inside the Soviet sector, was similarly divided. in 1948, the Soviet forces closed off land routes through Soviet-controlled East Germany in an attempt to starve out the American/British/French controlled areas. To bring food and supplies to West Berlin through the Soviet-controlled areas, the U.S. Air Force began the "Berlin Airlift". You can read articles about it at the link below. One American pilot Lt. Gail Halvorsen, seeing the German children watching his aircraft, began dropping candy from his cockpit window. Other pilots joined suit. As of November 29, 2008, Col. Halvorsen (retired) is still flying and occasionally re-enacting his candy bombing.
