In WW II we had two opposed alliances: the Allied Powers consisting of England, France, Russia, the United States, Canada, and Australia, and the Axis Powers of Germany, Austria, Italy, and Japan. The conflict was mainly motivated by Germany's dissatisfaction with the outcome of the previous great war, WW I, and the desire of the Axis powers to increase their wealth and power by conquering other nations (who naturally did not wish to be conquered).
