10 axis powers were during world war 2

I believe there were six axis powers in the world war 2... I found it out of my younger brother's History Book from his school

Germany, Italy and Japan were the main three.

Hungary, Romania, Bulgaria and Thailand were minor axis powers.

Finland fought with the axis against the U.S.S.R. but wasn't a member.

On August 6, 1945, at 9:15 AM Tokyo time, a B-29 plane, the "Enola Gay" piloted by Paul W. Tibbets, dropped a uranium atomic bomb, code named "Little Boy" on Hiroshima, Japan's seventh largest city. In minutes, half of the city vanished. According to U.S. estimates, 60,000 to 70,000 people were killed or missing, 140,000 were injuried many more were made homeless as a result of the bomb. Deadly radiation reached over 100,000. In the blast, thousands died instantly.

The city was unbelievably devastated. Of its 90,000 buildings, over 60,000 were demolished. Another bomb was assembled at Tinian Island on August 6. On August 8, Field Order No.17 issued from the 20th Air Force Headquarters on Guam called for its use the following day on either Kokura, the primary target, or Nagasaki, the secondary target. Three days after Hiroshima, the B-29 bomber, "Bockscar" piloted by Sweeney, reached the sky over Kokura on the morning of August 9 but abandoned the primary target because of smoke cover and changed course for Nagasaki.

Nagasaki was an industrialized city with a natural harbor in Western Kuushu, Japan. At 11:02 a.m., this bomb, known as the "Fat Man" bomb, exploded over the north factory district at 1,800 feet above the city to achieve maximum blast effect. Buildings collapsed. Electrical systems were shorted. A wave of secondary fires resulted, adding to their holocaust.

Flash burns from primary heat waves caused most of the casualties to inhabitants. Others were burned when their homes burst into flame. Flying debris caused many injuries. A fire storm of winds followed the blast at Hiroshima as air was drawn back to the center of the burning area. Trees were uprooted. The bomb took the lives of 42,000 persons and injured 40,000 more. It destroyed 39 percent of all the buildings standing in Nagasaki. According to U.S. estimates, 40,000 people were killed or never found as a result of the second bomb.

A device that looked like a typewriter that the Germans used to create coded messages. They truly believed that the codes were unbreakable but once the allies got their hands on some examples and some code books they got craking on developing machines to decode German transmissions.

Let me start with some background. Industrial spying is and was common in the past. Companies are always trying to discover what their competition is doing. In the period before World War II an American invented a machine that would make a code that was "impossible" to break.

The machine was unable to get much, if any, interest in the United States. However the German Post Office (before Hitler) bought a few machines. (I do not know what they did with them.) Somehow, and sometime, the German Army found out about them and by the time Hitler was in power they became very popular. The were not common in the early years, but by 1939 there were quite a few of them manufactured in Germany and being used by the German military forces (Army, Navy & Airforce). The machine was given the name "Enigma," meaning a puzzle that cannot be solved.

Polish experts had stolen one or two machines before Hitler invaded Poland, and they had some incredably intelligent mathmaticians that were able to break the code.

Poland then shared the machine with the French, and later they shared the machine with the British. Owning a machine would not help a person break the code, so while it was nice to see how the machine worked, it was still not enough.

Basically the machine is an electric typewriter. BUT when you push the letter "A" it sends and electircal signal to a wheel. Wires inside this wheel will connect it to some other letter, say an "N." But that wasn't the end of it either. That "N" now sends it to another wheel that again changes the letter, and then again to another wheel that again changes the letter.

That is not complicated enough. Each of the wheels rotates each time you push the typewriter key. So and "A" with one push might be an "N", but the next push the "A" becomes an "X" and the next push a "T" and so on for 26 or more changes.

That is STILL not enough, because there are things in the back of the machine that allows even more changes.

So to receive the message someone sends to you a person much know the exact settings of each of the three wheels, and the wiring in the back. Only then can you push the letters you have received and turn them back into the original message sent.

Hope this helps. P.S. The British invented the fist computers so they could break the codes, even so it wasn't always easy.

The German Enigma was recovered by American Forces in TICOM (Target Intelligence Commitee [closely related with NSA]). In addition to capturing a few of the machines, they also captured some soldiers familiar with the machine. The soldiers told them the principles behind the machine, and American scientists, engineers, and agents were able to reverse engineer the machine to see how it worked.

The three major Axis powers, Nazi Germany, Fascist Italy, and Imperial Japan were part of a military alliance on the signing of the Tripartite Pact in September 1940, which officially founded the Axis powers.

Japanese records were destroyed as the war was ending. Best estimates by some historians is approximately 50,000 aircraft built & destroyed.

Nuremberg is the biggest city in Franconia (Northern Bavaria). It is on the River Pegnitz and was a prosperous city in the late Middle Ages. It was situated at the point where two major trade routes crossed - one from Frankfurt and the Rhineland to Prague and the other from Lübeck, Hamburg and other ports to southern Germany and the Alps. It includes a splendid castle.

The city was well known for the Guild of Meistersingers. Hans Sachs and Albrecht Dürer are particularly known citizens of the Renaissance period.

In the 20th century the city became notorious for the Nazi party rallies, for the Nuremberg race laws, and it was of course the seat of the International Military Tribunal.

germany,italy and im not sure but i think astruia "sorry aboth the spellings"

The name they were given is known as the Axis Powers

Germany lost both wars, The versallies agreement was inolved in both wars and also russia was involved and played a great role as well as France and other great colonies.

The only legitimate fault that the US could be attributed to was it's failure to join the League of Nations. As it was not a member, it lost the chance to urge action against Japan, Italy and Germany. But due to the large isolationist movement after the Great Depression, it is doubtful any President could have acted with a more vigorous and forceful international policy. The US had it's hands full dealing with it's own problems after Black Friday

The term "medieval" is applied to the Middle Ages, which is the period between the fall of the Roman civilization (476 AD) and the Renaissance which was roughly the 14th through 17th centuries.

The Middle Ages are therefore the period of about 800 to 1000 years when Europe existed in a state of feudalism. This was marked by the establishment of ethnic and national realms among the once-primitive tribes, and by the Crusades launched against Islamic occupation of the Holy Lands of the Middle East.

Manchuria was neither. It was invaded by Japan in the 1930's and was under Japanese occupation during the war.

During the Second World War, Romania tried again to remain neutral, but on June 28, 1940, it received a Soviet ultimatum with an implied threat of invasion in the event of non-compliance. Under pressure from Moscow and Berlin, the Romanian administration and the army were forced to retreat from Bessarabia as well from Northern Bukovina to avoid war (giving these territories to Russia). This, in combination with other factors, prompted the government to join the Axis

Romania joined Germany in world war 2 to recover her lost territories.

It provided the Allies with supplies and weapons.

Germany ,Italy and Japan

Germany, Italy and Japan were known as he Axis powers. Oppssing them were the Allies, Great Britain, USA, Canada, all of the the British Dominions, Holland, Belgium, France, Poland,Czechoslovakia, Greece, and Brazil.

In WWII, it was called the Kriegsmarine (War Navy). After WWII, it was called the Bundesmarine (Federal Navy).

Today, it is the Deutsche Marine (German Navy).

There was no "Poison", it was just an atomic bomb.

Terrible

There were those who thought that this was a black period in history and there were those that to this day think it was a good thing. and there are those that deny it ever happened. they have to be careful that they do not say this in public as they don't have the same political clout as the Jewish lobby who seem to think they deserve some sort of special treatment. My own opinion is that this period was just another terrible example of what happens when we let our politicians and our prejudices get out of control. Granted the Jews put them selves apart as the special chosen ones and see everyone else in a lower light. but then does that not happen with every religion and cult. the Jews were not the only people that were brutally murdered during these few years of human history. they were but a small part of the whole.

Lego is mainly made in Denmark (where it was first invented) but there might be a few factories in other countries e.g. US or China?!

Adolf Hitler was not a bad person, really he was one of the greatest leaders of the 20th century. A reason why people might think he is bad is because his Nasos party was related to the SS Black Guard which unlawfully executed jewish people in internment camps. Most of the world confuses the political National Socialist Party with The National Affairs group ran by Heinrich Himmler which was the group that really was be blamed for the genocide that took place during World War 2. Without Adolf Hitler Germany's economy would have fell and never recover due to the famine and syphilis that plagued western and northern Germany.

Because there was no plan to take care of Italy and Germany after the Great War these nations were left in great ruins with high levels of unemployment. When these conditions happen people will look to there governments for hope and changes. Guys like Hiltler offered change. They said that the Jewish people were taking all the jobs. And they were lining their owns pockets with the dollars of Hard Working Germans. He could only look at History the Jews had been bankers since there earliest day.

Because these poor conditions were allowed to happen the US developed the Marshall plan. This plan in a sense rebuilds the country that the US has a war with. By doing this you win the Hearts and Minds of the people. You achieve a prewar economy quicky and can move the population to a non militant stance. You allow them to retain there nationality and pride.
