WW2 Axis Powers

American , British, & Russian Governments

April 9th, 1865 Appomattox, Virginia Negotiations began between General Robert E Lee and General Ulysses S Grant in the McLean House near Appomattox Court House, and the terms of surrender were agreed upon. The papers were signed, at which time Lee left for his headquarters in the court house.

Each Allied Nation seemed to offer the correct element for a win at some time of the conflict. The US could provide a seemingly inexhaustible armory of Military Weapons and advanced technology, Americas bread basket seemed bottomless. Bottomless was the manpower pool of the USSR and they were putting out the only tank that could face German forces nose to nose and come out on top. Great Britian? Yes that was the question. They offered the full support of the Empire. They also had the best signals intelligence and cryptographic unit in the world at Bethchley Park. And they had a weapon of great importance and value, they had Winston Churchill.

See website: Atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki.

after WW1 is when most Americans were afraid it would spread to their own soil and it got worse after WW2, so some might argue it went on until the Cold War was over. some people are still scared of all types of communism today.

Tojo approved the attack on Great Britain, the United States and the Dutch East Indies in 1941. Though they had early victories, the country faced severe losses as war went on. Tojo kept gathering all the administrative powers to himself. He gained dictatorial power. However his aggressive war policies were a failure, when Japan lost the war.

The Nuremberg trials were necessary because they addressed the crimes of the officers, supports and political leaders of the Third Reich. Trying these leaders of Nazi Germany helped to make sure someone answered for the crimes of the second world war.

because it was a major expore, and import resource

In March 1938 Austria became the first country to be annexed by Germany. (In other words, it was added to Germany). In Linz and Vienna Hitler was greeted with hysterical enthusiasm that made even the Nuremberg rallies look tame. In Vienna some people celebrated by making Jews sweep the streets with tooth-brushes, while crowds looked on and jeered and laughed. Austrians were heavily represented in the German army and in the Nazi terror apparatus. It was only after Stalingrad that it became fashionable in Austria to say that the country had been a victim of Nazi agression. I hope this answers the question. Joncey Let's not forget that Adolf Hitler was born at the Gasthof zum Pommer, an inn in Braunau am Inn, Austria-Hungary, on 20 April 1889 and only moved to Munich when he was 24 years old.

He was axis. He was the enemy of the allied countries.

Finland fought against the Soviet Union and was an ally of Germany, but it didn't send people to concentration camps.

Finnish authorities did, although, at the time, without the consent of political leadership, send eight middle European Jewish refugees (non-citizens), to the German authorities (Gestapo) in Estonia, seven of which perished in Auschwitz and there was sizable exchange of POW's (Russian to Germans, Estonian and Ingrian to Finns) between Finnish and German authorities between 1941 and 1943/4.

After the war Finland was forced to hand over a large number of former Soviet citizens who fought on Finnish side (Estonians) or were refugees to Finland (Ingrians) to the Soviet authorities, which meant them being treated in the Soviet Union as traitors and subsequently meant that many of them were executed or sent to Soviet (concentration/prison) camps in Siberia.

Yes. he joined the Italian Army in 1915. In 1917 he was wounded by a bomb and was sent to hospital and then home which ended his army service.

Yes. Mussolini was in the Bersaglieri, elite soldiers formed by Garibaldi when Italy became a nation in the 19th Century. The Bersaglieri served creditably in WW2, and in Lebanon in 1982. They may be recognized by the bird feather plumes on their hats or helmets, and they are still elite soldiers of the Italian Army today. Instead of an enemy bomb, I think Mussolini was wounded by an Italian mortar bomb which exploded prematurely. Cashiered from the Italian Army, Mussolini decided to enter politics.....with disastrous effects to the world.

All The Above - Apex

The Anschluss was a union between Germany and Austria, it was important to Hitler as Austria was his homeland and it was part of his plan to unite all German speaking peoples in a powerfull greater Germany.

Russia (then a part of the USSR) signed a non-aggression pact with Nazi Germany in August of 1939. The Soviets agreed not to attack Hitler and he agreed not to do so as well, Russia was still in alliance with the Allied Powers but started to subjugate Eastern Europe instead. In June of 1941, Hitler broke the non-aggression pact and attacked the USSR, which made the USSR into a full-fledged comrade of the Allies' war effort. They, in the end, were given the honor of taking Berlin.

The German-Italian alliance 1936 was the Tripartite Pact. It included not only Germany and Italy, but also Japan. Mussolini traveled to Germany on September 23, to finalize the pact.

No, Greece was an Allied power in World War 2. Greece was attacked by Italy & Germany. Occupied by Germany, then liberated when Germany was defeated.

its the simple rule of divide and conquer.

The easiest ways to gain territory in the inter-war years was to threaten nations with war. After the horrors of WWI many people did not want to see the detestation of the trenches re-enacted for a few small pieces of territory. America, Britain and particularly France did want to fight another war so soon after losing millions on the fields of Flanders so both people and leaders were adverse to even getting close to making war.

The reasons for Mussolini allying with Hitler was that he could see that Hitler was going to start a war and probily take over the world and he did not want to miss out on the rewards of being on the winning side. The effects it had on Mussolini was that he was veiwed very highly around the world for re-stabilising the Italian govenment so allying with Hiler decreased his popularity with other world leaders

7hours depending where you are in Germany and where youa re going in Italy, so 7 hours from border to border
