In the years prior to World War II, the Allied Powers, primarily consisting of Britain, France, and later the United States and the Soviet Union, sought to maintain peace and stability in Europe, but were often constrained by the policies of appeasement towards aggressive Axis Powers. The Axis Powers, led by Nazi Germany, Fascist Italy, and Imperial Japan, pursued expansionist policies, invading neighboring countries and violating international agreements. This aggressive behavior, coupled with the failure of the League of Nations to effectively respond, escalated tensions and ultimately led to the outbreak of the war in 1939. The geopolitical landscape was marked by increasing militarization and alliances, setting the stage for global conflict.

In World War 2? Probably Bolivia or Peru. Loads of south American countries joined the Allies days before the end just so they could have a say in the post war talks. Most of them didn't actually contribute though.
Yes, but the US signed another treaty with Germany a few years later.
During World War I, the arrival of American troops did in fact affect the spirit of the British, French, and other allied troops in Europe in 1917 and beyond. In general, the optimism, the energy, and the passion of the American soldiers, as well as their effectiveness in battle, lifted the spirits of the soldiers who had already been fighting the Central Powers for several long, difficult years.
US fought the AXIS powers in WWII: Germany, Japan, and Italy. NB Italy changed sides in 1943, and was on the allied side after that. Don't forget all those allied countries that fought alongside the USA, and in fact fought for years longer than the USA.
Being really aggressive and power-hungry. Primarily, their goals were to gain territory, at really no matter the cost. They ended up disagreeing, however, which shattered them internally as they were getting shattered externally by us, the allied-powers.
Suspicion of Germany's autocratic government (apex)
In World War II (as well as for some years prior), the major Axis powers were three in number and were located in Europe and in Asia. The two European "majors" were Germany and Italy, while the Asian "major" was Imperial Japan.
Italy was the first of the axis powers to surrender. They signed an armistice with the allied forces on September 3rd 1943, almost 2 years before Germany and Japan.
The Allied powers occupied Japan for nine years following the conclusion of World War Two. Troops left the island of Japan in 1954 leaving the Japanese government to rule themselves for the first time in over 10 years.
If you're from a country which was a member of the Allied Powers, your enemies would've been Germany, Italy (until 1943), Bulgaria, Croatia, and Japan. Technically, Finland during the first years of the war, although their alliance with Germany was simply because they were already fighting the Soviet Union prior to WWII kicking off, and they never engaged in combat operations against any other Allied country. If you're from a country which was a member of the Axis powers, then your enemies would've been more of less the rest of Europe, China, the United States, and various resistance organizations.
I can only imagine you are asking about the invasion of France on D-Day and after. This was the Allied powers breakout into Europe after 3 years of buildup.
The United States' entry into World War I in April 1917 provided a significant boost to the Allied powers, both in terms of manpower and resources. American troops and supplies helped to bolster the exhausted Allied forces, tipping the balance against the Central Powers. Additionally, U.S. involvement brought fresh enthusiasm and a sense of urgency to the Allied efforts, contributing to the eventual defeat of Germany and its allies in November 1918. The U.S. participation also set the stage for its increased role in global affairs in the years to follow.
The allies won World War 1 overcoming German aggression simply by tactics and strength of combined powers. The aggressive Germans were dreaming of conquering the whole world without assessing their own strength. The World World 1 which continued for 4 years was a big drain on their arsenals and financial power. So the exhausted Germans had no other alternative than to surrender before the allied powers. Thus the allies won the World War 1.

nobody actually won, but the central powers definitely lost.
It wasn't, but they did turn there corresponding countries into world powers (for about 10 years.)
