What happened to Japan Italy and Germany after World War 2?
Germany was split into American, British, French, and Russian zones, with each zone controlled by the respective country. In 1949 the three Western zones combined to form the Federal Republic of Germany (West Germany). Japan was placed under primarily American occupation. Even though Japan's economy was under terrible strain, it avoided complete collapse from American support. Both Germany and Japan were forced to pay war reparations in the form of money and company control. For example, Mitsubishi (the primary producer of the Zero) was placed under American control until the 1960s. chelsea has a humugas heddddd lolzzzzzzzzz byeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

Why is the Messerschmidt 109 fighter referred to as Bf-109 and not Me-109?
BF stands for the company that built the aircraft = Bayerische Flugzeugwerke or BFW (bavarian aircraft manufacturers) - it was the official German aviation ministry designation - ME is for planes built / designed by Messerschmitt - Willy Messerschmitt was not involved at the beginning with the 109 design which is why it probably was called the BF-109 although he did eventually work on it. Willy Messerschmitt was the head designer for BFW
(Thanks. I wasn't sure of the name of the company. Wonder why it wasn't caled BFW-109.)

Who was the weakest country out of the axis power?
Of the "big three", the weakest was pretty clearly Italy. If you want to expand it to all the countries fighting on the Axis side (not all of whom signed the Tripartite Pact and thus were officially part of the "Axis"), then it becomes a much tougher call. For example, there was San Marino, a country about a third the size of such grand metropoli as Lincoln, NE; Enid, OK; Springfield, MO; and Apple Valley, CA.

Soon after that the Japanese attacked the Philippines by land, sea, and air and eventually drove the Americans from the islands and captured over 10,000 American soldiers. The Japanese also attacked and conquered some smaller American islands in the Pacific. The Germans were initially quite successful at using submarines to sink American shipping off the Atlantic coast.

Who rescued Mussolini and What did they do with him?
A little background info:
In 1943, Italy was losing their part in World War II, and by that summer, the Allies had driven Italian forces out of North Africa and even had invaded Sicily. The war was extremely unpopular among Italians- to the point that even Mussolini's Fascist Party turned against him. On July 25, 1943, the King of Italy fired Mussolini and had him arrested. The new Prime Minister soon began negotiations for Italy to switch sides and join the Allies against Germany. In early September, the deal was finalized and Italy officially switched sides- just as the Allies were starting their invasions of Italy itself.
Mussolini was rescued from prison a few days afterward.An elite unit of German Fallschirmjäger (paratroopers) led by Major Otto-Harald Mors and special SS commandos led by Captain Otto Skorzeny landed in gliders on the mountain where Mussolini was held. The troops used surprise to overwhelm the Italian guards, and escape with Mussolini without firing a shot. For propaganda reasons, the SS troops and Skorzeny got most of the credit for carrying out the raid.
After the successful mission, Mussolini was brought to German territory. Shortly thereafter, the Germans created the "Italian Social Republic" in northern Italy, with Mussolini as its first (and only) ruler. However, Germany was actually in control of it, and did most of the fighting as the war continued.
Eventually, as the Allies continued to push the Germans out of Italy, Mussolini decided to try to escape to neutral Switzerland with his girlfriend and a few of his remaining close friends. The group was captured by anti-fascist rebels near the Italian-Swiss border at the end of April 1945. Mussolini and his band were executed, and their bodies were hung at a gas station in Milan. People were able to spit on the bodies and throw things at it, to show how much they hated them.
