WW2 Axis Powers

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.

To seize territory, they used the German army, the Wehrmacht. To control the occupied countries, they had to mainly rely on the cooperation and obedience of the Civil Services of those countries, which almost everywhere was not much of a problem. In most countries the Nazis installed units of the SS and the Gestapo to 'help' with police duties and in all occupied countries they kept Wehmacht and/or Waffen-SS units. The role of 'head of State' in the occupied countries usually was taken over by a 'Reichskommisar' appointed by Adolf Hitler.

Fear.

After a huge number of Japanese immigrated to the US, people felt threatened because of farm and labor competition. A wave of anti-Jap prejudice spread, mostly in California. After Pearl Harbor, some people suspected Japanese-Americans were spies sending intelligence to Japan. Officials were concerned that the Japanese, especially the ethnic, would be more loyal to their homeland than to America. The Niihau Incident, immediately after Pearl Harbor, involved a Japanese and two Hawaiian-born ethnic Japanese on the island of Ni'ihau violently freeing a downed and captured Japanese naval airman, attacking their fellow Ni'ihau islanders in the process.

NO DOUBT WITH NUCLEAR BOMB ATTACKS ON JAPAN THERE WAS DESTRUCTION OF LIFE AND PROPERTY BUT ALONG WITH THAT THERE WAS A SEREIOUS IMPACT OF BOMBING ON PEOPLE , THAT IS DEFORMITIES FOUND IN PEOPLE , BECAUSE BOMBS CONTAIN RADIOACTIVE MATERIAL WHICH EMITS HARMFUL RADIATIONS. THESE HARMFUL RADIATIONS HAS THERE EFFECT GENERATION AFTER GENERATION AS THESE RADIATIONS CAUSE GENETIC DISEASES. THESE DEFORMITIES DUE TO BOMB STILL CAN BE SEEN IN HIROSHIMA AND NAGASAKI. IT WAS MOST HARMFUL DESTRUCTION.

I believe it was 18.2million Nazis but the number of the other axis is unknown to me

The axis powers were Germany, Italy and Japan. They united to fight the US, Britain, the USSR and France in World War II.

The alliance they formed was called the Axis Powers. Britain (aided by the French resistance), the U.S., and Soviet Union, were known as the Allies.

Well in ww2 the axis countries were Germany, Japan, and Italy. But Nazi Germany did invade Italy later on in the war

The Nazism became popular due to the worldview that "Homosexuals, Specially Challenged People, Gypsies, and the most, Jews, enemies of our (Germany) Motherland and we should throw them out of germany". Hitler (leader of Nazi party) also came up with the well-known saying: HAIL HITLER! HAIL NAZI GERMANY! he spread the saying "Support the Hitler Youth." He drafted 12-16 year old as morale bands or child soldiers. His reign lifted each victory.
