The Berlin-Rome Axis was the alliance between two dictators, Adolf Hitler and Benito Mussolini, that formed a power base for the losing side of World War Two in Europe.
This was Mussolini's term for the result of the "Treaty of Friendship" signed October 25th, 1936 between Germany (Capital: Berlin) and Italy (Capital: Rome). In 1940, the Tripartite Treaty was signed, adding Imperial Japan to the Axis.
Germany's alliances were unfortunate for them. Italy was unable to complete its most important assignments in North Africa and Germany had to expend precious resources, first to try to hold resources form Africa and later to defend a European southern front. Japan, without consultation with its Axis allies, bombed the American naval base at Pearl Harbor in the territory of Hawaii, bringing the United States into the war, assuring that Germany's enemies would have unlimited Natural Resources and unlimited industrial base. In fact, the entry of the US into the war and the German invasion of the Soviet Union were the deciding factors in the war.
Once the war started, Mussolini's support among the Italian people waned and once the allied powers (the winning side) invaded Italy Mussolini was seized by a mob and brutally murdered. Hitler committed suicide as the Red Army (Soviet Union) seized Berlin and the Japanese Emperor was forced to lead his people into surrender (for the first time in Japanese history) and to recuse his deity.

The "Rome-Berlin Axis" was used to describe the military coalition of Italy and Germany in 1939 under the Pact of Steel signed by Mussolini and Hitler. This is the source of the term Axis Powers to describe their alliance. With the signing of the Tripartite Pact by Japan (1940), the "Rome-Berlin-Tokyo Axis" describes the three major powers that fought the Allied Powers in World War 2.
That was an alliance between Germany, Italy, and Japan, also known as the Berlin-Rome-Tokyo Axis.
Following the October 1936 treaty signed by Germany and Italy, Italian dictator Benito Mussolini declared on 1 November that all other European countries would from then on rotate on the Rome-Berlin axis, thus creating the term "Axis.'
Mussolini's idea of "an axis around which nations could assemble": The Axis Powers is a term for the alliance led by Nazi Germany and between that state, Italy, and Japan during World War II. The three major powers referred to the axis as the Rome-Berlin-Tokyo axis. The term was first used by Benito Mussolini, in November 1936, when he spoke of a Rome-Berlin axis in reference to the treaty of friendship signed between Italy and Nazi Germany on October 25, 1936. Later, in May 1939, this relationship transformed into an alliance, dubbed the "Pact of Steel".
