During World War 2, The United States was a latecomer to the war. Germany occupied part of France and Conquered Austria. Germany conquered part of Czechoslovakia. England, and France began by fighting against Germany. Then Germany and Russia divided Poland. Germany conquered France. German Armies moved into the Balkans, Greece, North Africa, the Levant, and North Africa. They also moved into Norway. An Italian army moved into Ethiopia. Japan attacked China, conquered Indochina from France, the Philippines from the United States, Indonesia from the Netherlands, and half of New Guinea and Burma from England.

At that point a number of the allies had been conquered by the Axis! India, Australia, New Zealand, Brazil, Costa Rica, Canada, and the Union of South Africa all fought on the side of the Allies. As the Allies liberated various peoples, they joined the fight. The Arabs of North Africa joined the fight against the Germans as Patton's tanks rolled across North Africa. The Arabs of Libya joined the fight as Montgomery pushed back the forces of Rommel. Ho Chi Minh in Vietnam led an effective guerrilla force against the Japanese. When the French returned to Indochina, he continued his guerrilla war and drove them out. When the American army came, he continued his guerrilla war and drove them out. China, of course fought against Japan. Russia changed sides when Germany attacked. Finland had started on the side of Germany and become neutral. Romania started on the side of Germany and late in the war switched sides.
