WW2 Axis Powers

Originally hoping to have their chance at the spoils of war, Italy agreed to fight on the side of the Axis forces and moved into North Africa. Allied powers entered North Africa in August of 1942 and reached Sicily by August 1943. The following month, Italian Leaders surrenders to the Allied forces. October 13, 1943. After strategic and military conditions deteriorated, Italy, along with several other nations, changed sides and declared war on the Axis Powers.

It took the Containment Policy a step further. It convinced the Soviets that they would face military and economic resistance if they tried to take over other areas. The Truman Doctrine was a policy of supporting anti-communist regimes with military and economic aid. The Doctrine was first used in support of democratic governments in Greece and Turkey.

The easiest answer is that the Allies dedicated themselves to total war. Total war means nations devote all of their resources towards war efforts.

You are not a moron for asking the question, but the answer requires years of study and branches into several fields (politics, economics, logistics, ideology, philosophy, etc.) I have been studying this question for 30+ years and I am still learning. Perhaps the above answerer is the real moron.

the real answer is that by creating a two way front at Omaha beach and Utah beach in France, the us closed in on he axis powers and defeated them. they also defeated them by using the island hopping strategy to capture and defeat the Japanese islands. They also won by dropping the atomic bomb on nagasaki and hiroshima in japan.

I can find nothing false about "the real answer" above, but it seems to be answering the question "How did the US defeat Germany and Japan?" There were three other beaches besides Omaha and Utah (British at Gold and Sword, Canadians at Juno). The British had almost knocked Italy out of the war before the US arrived. The other front was in Russia, also ignored by the previous answer. I agree about the island hopping strategy, but Japan would have lost the war even without the atomic bombings. Yet, Hiroshima and Nagasaki did result in a shorter war and a million lives saved.

The allied forces were the british, US, France(Taken over by Germany), Russia and a series of more countries. The Axis Powers were the Japanese and Italy and Germany. Germany was taken by a series of attacks and tank runs after year of the Normandy invasion. Japan surrendered after the atomic bomb was deployed. the US wasn't winning against japan at first because they were equallly matched thanks to the new industrialized japan during the war. Russia took a major role wiping out Poland and the German borders. Italy left the Axis powers and Joined the Allied forces.

Part of the reason the German invasion of the Soviet Union did so well is that Stalin had much of his army and airforce in forward positions along the Border with Poland. Any tactician could tell you that this is not a defensive posture. Stalin had plans to attack Germany---Hitler was the first to the mark. If Germany hadn't attacked then the Soviets would have. The war would have probably still ended up with Germany's defeat--but it is possible that it would have been dragged out for much longer since most of Germany's losses were due to the Russian winter which would have been avoided. autcaully ur wrong germany attacked russia first and jospeh stalin thought as hitler as close to like a friend since hitler was really the only real person he really trusted and stalin knew hitler was gonna attack russaia but didnt want to believe it and had a mental breakdown he ran away for about 3 weeks when he heard this and no one was able to contact him. one of his generals got excellent intelligence hitler was gonna attack him and he refused to believe until hitler attacked russia.also jospeh stalin was the type of paranoid revengeful guy he killed thousands of people that were loyal to him just because he had a slight suspicion that they werent loyal to him so to him hitler in his eyes was kinda of like a friend u know u can trust backstab u.if he never attacked russia stalin would've kept sopportin hitler and they would;ve tooken over britain and china would've been into either soviets or japs most likey soviets since japs fought the usa and was loosin then hitler would've stepped in conquer and occupy usa. then attack soviets and japan dont really know simultinuesly or 1by 1. he would've done this later because he was racists to anyone non aryan and jewish also most russians were jewish or alot of em and he didnt like communists. its not wehther if he wouldnt have done this its just if he would have delayed his attack till he got every thing in europe set up perfect. The question is too hypothetical. For Hitler, war against the Soviet Union was the centrepiece of WW2, and most of the rest was rather incidental. In 1917-18 Germany had defeated Russia, and tried to set up a vast empire there, but had been unable to hold on to it because of the war on the Western Front. Boundless expansion in Eastern Europe was one of Hitler's key fantasies. He had a dream ...

Germany, Italy, Japan
In World War 2, the 3 major Axis powers were: Germany, Italy, and Japan.

It came from the idea that the three countries of the axis powers - Germany, Japan and Italy - would be connected by an "axis" (such as those found on maps that depict the latitude and longitude of a location) and that the world will revolve around that connection.

At the close of World War II, General Douglas MacArthur, in charge of the U.S. occupation of Japan, kept Hirohito on the throne rather than charge him with war crimes, and Hirohito renounced his divinity and agreed to adopt a constitutional monarchy. During Hirohito's lifetime he was often depicted as a benign and even passive bystander to events, more interested in marine biology than geopolitics. Since his death in 1989, that image has been challenged by critics who argue that Hirohito encouraged the military aggression toward China in the early 1930s, participated in the planning of the attacks on Pearl Harbor (1941) and prolonged the war against the U.S. and Great Britain unnecessarily. After his death in 1989, Hirohito was succeeded by his son, the Emperor Akihito.

Nuclear warheads are pretty flexible, and can be set to detonate in several ways, and in all mediums:

1. Underwater (e.g., ASROC)

2. Atmospheric (high altitude (EMP burst) or low altitude air burst over target

3. Contact / Terminal coordinates (e.g., GPS) detonation on land or at sea

4. Underground penetration and detonation

5. Timer set on device placed in any location

There is no diffinitive answer of what 'axis' means however Mussolini once said that Italy and Germany would make an axis which all European States would revolve round.

Japan,Italy,Germany, and Soviet Union till Germany betrayed them.

For the most part he and his country were a member of the allies. However most people don't know that he signed a nonaggression pact with Nazi Germany in 1939. This pact was full of secret clauses. One of these secret clauses called for the division of Poland, once conquered, between Germany and the Soviet Union. As you probably know, Hitler had already absorbed (basically conquered without a shot) Austria into the German Reich in the Anschluss. Then after being given the Sudetenland (an area of Czechoslovakia which contained 3 million ethnic Germans) in a deal with British Prime Minister Chamberlain brokered by Benito Mussolini, in exchange for his promise not to take anymore territory, he broke his word and marched into and took over the whole of Czechoslovakia, once again without a shot being fired. The soviet Union and its cowardly leader Stalin had signed a pact pledging to help the Czechs if this occurred, but refused to honor it once the Germans invaded. On September 1st, 1939, at around 4:15 am local time, the German blitzkrieg into Poland began. Poland has the distinction of being the first country with the courage and fortitude to stand up to Hitler. Britain and France both declared war on Germany, but did nothing tangible to help the Poles, who fought Valiantly against the strongest military machine the world had ever seen. The Polish air force had some extreme initial successes, but were outnumbered by the Luftwaffe 10 to 1 and were soon defeated. The gallant Poles continued to resist and launched a successful counter attack (i will include the name of the battle later, have to look it up) on September 17th, but the success was tempered by the ghastly news that the cowardly, back-stabbing Russians had entered the war on the German side, having invaded through Poland's eastern borders that were guarded by only a small token force, since the bulk of the Polish army was concentrated to the west and around Warsaw fighting the Wehrmacht. The Poles nonetheless inflicted higher military casualties on the Russians than the Russians on them, but were soon ordered to cease resistance and what troops could escaped to Romania to fight another day. The Warsaw Garrison held out for another two weeks, until they finally surrendered, to face horrific War Crimes committed not only by the Nazis, but by the Russians as well. The German and Soviets the mounted several joint victory parades. So for this early stage of the war, the Soviets were technically an Axis power, although they never signed the Rome-Tokyo-Berlin Axis which the term Axis powers is derived from.

The cowardly Stalin then used the Nazi expansion (though Hitler made good on his promise to split Poland with Stalin for the time being) as an excuse to march into, occupy and take over both Latvia and Estonia, two former Soviet "states" that had earned their independence after WWI. The occupying Soviet forces were as brutal and criminal as the Nazis and even more repressive. So much so, that when Germany first conquered those areas nearly two years later, they were seen as liberators by the native population, until it was discovered that for many of the residents, they were just as bad as the Soviets. Stalin then demanded that Finland accept a similar fate. Finland bravely refused, and the result was the Winter War 1939-40. Stalin wanted a blitzkrieg of his own, but the Finns proved to be ferocious fighters, who were experts at Winter warfare and knew their territory well. Horribly outnumbered both in materials and men, they and their incredible general, Manerhiem, along with several Swedish and Polish Garrisons supplied with many French weapons, basically kicked Russia's butt, and seized many Russian tanks and artillery pieces. However, Stalin's inept view of war, which remained largely unchanged for the entire conflict, was that human beings were expendable, so long as he achieved his aim, so eventually the Soviets won the winter war, technically, though it cost them over 250,000 men, 347 tanks and countless other military supplies, and the Finns lost less than 30, 000. Stalin made no other demands besides those which were made before the war broke out, fearing that too much repression would lead to a revolt by these fierce, competent fighters who had just basically demoralized the Red Army. The war convinced Hitler that the Soviet Union was simply a "paper giant', and it was one of the major factors which contributed to operation Barbarossa, Germany's invasion of the Soviet Union in 1941. Upon the launch of Barbarossa, The Soviet Union then became a member of the Allied powers. The Finns then became a reluctant ally of Hitler's and proved to be his most competent European ally, and only legitimate fighting force allied with Nazi Germany other than the Empire of Japan, who actually betrayed the Axis in that instead of attacking Russia's far eastern end by sea and through China(which Japan had already conquered most of) they decided to do the cowardly sneak attack on the United States Navy at Pearl Harbor, and bring the only Military stronger than the German quadruple threat of the Wehrmacht, Luftwaffe, Kriegsmarine and Waffen SS in the brave, well supplied and superbly led United States Army, Air Force, Navy and Marines.

So to surmise, Stalin, the head of State of the Soviet Union before during and after WWII and the country he led were originally an Axis power (though they never became a signer of the Rome-Tokyo-Berlin Axis) until the subjugation and division of Poland was completed by Nazi Germany and the Red army, then became a member of the Allied powers after Hitler launched operation Barbarossa in 1941.

Harry Truman became the new President of the United States when Franklin Delano Roosevelt died just before the War in Europe ended during World War II in 1945. The US was on the side of the Allies like Great Britain and France. Truman was famous for ending the War in the Pacific when he ordered the droppings of two atomic bombs on Hiroshima and Nagaski, two major cities in Japan, to end World War II and give the victory to the Allies.

Vergeltungswaffe, "vengeance weapon".

== == Having surrendered unconditionally, they were disbanded. Their country was occuppied by Allied forces that ensured they would be under control and help them rebuild their destroyed cities.

Considering the recent double overtime victory and the fact that most commentators agreed that Germany is in fact a better team, the answer is Germany.

4. the United States provided critical aid to Great Britain and the Soviet Union

Kristallnacht is translated from German into "night of broken glass," which is fitting. Kristallnacht was when Nazis ran through towns smashing windows of German businesses and shops and setting fire to those businesses. Jews were beaten during that day, and forced to relocate elsewhere. It was the start of the Nazi's Final Solution.

Right as the Americans and Russians started to beat back his armys on both sides Hitler didnt know what to do because he had already lost 4 panzer divisions 2 Tiger Divisions and had lost over 35,000 infantry in Russia and lost over 28,000 infantry to the American advance.

The Gadget was tested at Trinity site in NM, near the northeast corner of what is now White Sands Missile Range.

They planned and carried out the invasion of Sicily, followed by the invasion of Italy.

If you are asking how Mussolini made Italy an Axis country, than the answer is simple: Hitler needed allies to fight the Allies. Though he was confident of Germany's militaristic superiority over other countries, Hitler didn't have enough influence (geographically) in order to assert dominance over the Heartland and especially needed more territory in the south of Europe as it provided close access to strategic locations in the Middle East. Why Hitler picked Italy specifically rests in the political similarities between the black shirts fascists of Mussolini and Nazi fascism. Mussolini was power thirsty and willing to conform his political stances to better align with Nazi principles in order to gain greater influence.
