Why did countries like Hungary and Romania join Nazi Germany as members of the Axis in World War 2?
After the First World War, the Treaty of Versailles - for Hungary it was the Treaty of Trianon - meant that the country lost two thirds of its original territory and naturally felt that it was unfair. It lost citizens whose mother tongue was Hungarian to Czechoslovakia (more than 1 milion people); to Romania (more than 1.6 million people); to Serbo Croatian Kingdom (about half a million people)to Austria (some 25,000 peole). Revisionism and irredentism grew. Hungary tried to find an ally which shared the bad opinion about the Treaty and the new borders. Unfortunately the only country which felt the Threaty of Versailles very humiliating and considered revenge was Germany.

How was Germany able to get around the Maginot Line and defeat France?
Though it was thought to be impossible, Germany simply moved their armour and troops through the dense and hilly Ardennes forest in Belgium, attacking the line from behind. A fatal flaw of the Maginot Line was that the cannons were stuck invariably East, towards Germany - meaning they couldn't turn the guns around when attacked from behind. Germany swiftly crushed resistance at the line and conquered the majority of France within 3 weeks.

What dictator became an ally in world war 2?
josef Stalin. he did so though, bcause the USSR and Germany had signed a pact not to attack each other but Hitler broke his word(again). this led to him splitting his army into 3 to attack ussr. however, he failed due to 2 reasons.
1 he had a 3 pronged, not a single attack.
2 he was too late. the winter (-70 c) stopped him just like it stopped napoleon in 1800's
it was mainly because of the second reason that he lost the war in the astern front and Stalin ganged up with Britain to defeat Hitler.
historians say that attacking ussr was Hitler's biggest mistake as he had to fight a war on 2 fronts that he cannot cope with and caused Stalin to join the allies
Did the axis powers hurt or help the allies?
they hurt them, because the axis were the enemy nations (Germany, Italy etc.) and they killed and damaged the allied powers so badly that some of them (France in particular) never really recovered.
