What is the most sophisticated weapon of world war 2 before the atom bomb?
The atomic bomb. the strongest bomb in the world is the nitrom bomb!
Not sure what the first poster meant by "nitrom bomb". If they meant NEUTRON bomb, then they would be correct only in that the neutron bomb was designed to maximize casualties through radiation instead of the heat and blast of other bombs. The explosive "yield" of most neutron bomb designs is in the kiloton range. The most powerful atomic device ever detonated was the Tsar Bomba device detonated by the USSR on October 30, 1961. The original design would have created a 100 megaton explosion, but it was reduced for testing to a 50 megaton device. The test device is believed to be the only one of its type ever built.
The "strongest" weapon of world war 2 was indeed the atomic bomb - although their combined explosive yield was still only about 1/1000 of that of the Tsar Bomba device. Even so, the atomic bombs were themselves about a thousand times as powerful as any of the conventional bombs used during the 2nd world war.
The axis just defines their rotation. It is relative to spin, so if a body does not spin, it has no axis. Kind of an imaginary line, like the equator. It is used for reference. Also an object that is not round and symmetrical and has a length and a width can also be referenced by these dimensions. The Longitudinal axis is usually an axis through the longest dimension of the body.

Did Francisco Franco Bahamonde fight for the allies or axis?
Franco did not "fight" for either side. Spain had just come out of a brutal Civil War from 1936-1939. However, as Franco had been helped in that war by the Nazi Regime and Fascist Italy, Franco felt an affinity for those countries and had good personal relations with those leaders. Hitler tried to encourage Franco to join the war on the Axis side and by 1942, Franco was strongly considering entry. However, the Allied victories in El Alamein and Stalingrad in 1943 showed that the tide was reversing. Allied governments sent a message to Franco that if he remained neutral, his country would not be invaded and he would not be deposed from power. As a result, he chose not to enter the war and was bypassed by the Allied Liberation in Western Europe.

What did the machine gun look like?
A machine gun, is a self-loading gun that can fire multiple shots with a single actuation of a trigger. It will fire for as long as the trigger is held pulled or pressed or until the ammunition runs out. Machine guns are also called automatic guns, or fully automatic, to distinguish from semi-auto self-loading guns that fire once per actuation of the trigger.
Machine guns can be recoil-operated, gas-operated, or externally driven by hydraulic, electric or other means. Most machine guns have a single barrel, however some have multiple barrels in a rotating assembly. The difference between those and other multi-barrel systems such as volley guns is that only one barrel fires at a time.
Why did dictators become popular in World War 2?
They never really started to rule, they somewhat came to power over the years. The great depression in the late '20's and early 30's affected not only the U.S. but also most of Europe, and the people needed someone to turn to, someone who will look out for them in time of need. Now, Hitler took some advantage of that and rallied the people using propaganda and public speeches to aid his rising power. Fascist leaders like Benito Mussalini, the Italian dictator, took liking to the ideas and actions of Hitler. This paragraph is only very brief of what really took place.
