When Germany over-ran Europe in 1939 and 1940, France surrendered. Germany occuppied a portion of France but some of France and its territories were unoccuppied. Instead, France signed a treaty that made them allies to Germany and the government was established in Vichy---thus this became known as Vichy France. When the British and Americans landedin Northern Africa to support the war against Rommel, they had to contend with the territories of Vichy France. The Allies sent Gen. Mark Clark to negotiate a peaceful resolution so they would not have to fight the French. He managed to get some aid but there was no promise of help to the Americans. When the Allies landed on 11 November 1942, they had to fight the French. In a few weeks they had taken over all of Morroco and Algiers and the Vichy government there laid down their arms.

How did the us defeat the axis powers in World War 2?

In the World War 2 period there was no one power that could be called "the World Superpower" so the US did not defeat it. At present some call the US "the World Superpower." Whether that is a valid description or not is a matter of opinion, but even if true it is still not possible for the US to defeat itself so the US has never defeated "the World Superpower."
