Why did the Axis lose the war?

Answer 1

They simply took on too much too fast at the same time. The German invasion of Poland in 1939 resulted in the British and French declarations of war. The invasion of the USSR opened a second front and the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor drew the USA into the war, the combined industrial output and resources of the USA, USSR and the British Commonwealth was just too much for the Axis Powers to handle. Another noteworthy mention is that the Italians were more trouble than they were worth to the Axis, they needed constant help from the Germans and their defeats in North Africa took away crucial German troops away from the Eastern Front ( war with the USSR). "09!"

Answer 2

the axis power was defeated because of their supply shortage and the attack on Russia. which in turn made the Russians join the allied powers. and so Germany had to fight on 3 fronts. the ignorance and pride of Hitler wouldn't allow him to listen to his advisers which led to losses of major battles such as Stalingrad.

the Japanese lost because of the atomic bomb which ended the war against Japan. they also lost because they didnt have the resources needed to win the war nor the technology

Answer 3

In broad terms, the Axis (Germany, Japan, and Italy as the primary members) lost the Second World War because they:

(1) had significantly less industry than the Allies

(2) managed their industrial output considerably worse than the Allies

(3) failed to secure a solid stream of vital raw materials necessary to their war efforts

(4) were considerably over-ambitious in their strategic goals.

The last reason is a function of the first three. The Axis failed to really understand that they could not win a long-term war; thus, their war plans did not reflect their real strategic situation. A successful Axis strategy would have revolved around waging short-duration limited-scope wars with negotiated peace treaties afterwards, and conducting several of them over a one to two decades, rather than trying to conquer the world all at once.

There are many other smaller reasons (i.e. specific actions done prior to and during the war itself) which significantly contributed to the defeat of the Axis, but the above four reasons are the "Big Picture" failures of the Axis which doomed any attempt at war, no matter how well (or poorly) the Axis fought.
In my opinion, strategically, because Hitler decided to invade the Soviet Union, spreading the German troops too thin. He was also mad and made poor strategic decisions from about 1943 on. But to my mind, the downfall started with the invasion of Russia, and the failure of the battle of Britain.

Answer 4

The industrial production in the USA was able to overwhelm the bombed out industrial production of the Axis nations. The available soldiers, sailors and pilots of the Allies also overwhelmed the available men of the Axis nations.

Answer 5

The Battle of Stalingrad, which launched the Soviet Union into WWII or Pearl Harbor, which launched America into WWII and Germany declared war on America after America declared war on Japan

Answer 6

Germany surrendered in 1945.
