How active an ally of Japan was Thailand in World War 2?

Japan Was Very active during WW2 So wasnt Thailand, Thiland also helped Germany So to say Thiland was very active.
Thailand may have been called SIAM during WW2. Nearly ALL occupied countries had some elements within their respective countries cooperating with the enemy (Japan & Germany). Siam may have been one of them. However, "allowing" Japanese troops to move freely through their country only would have made things easier for the Japanese. Otherwise, they moved as freely as they wished, they had the military power.

Why did Mussolini align Italy with Germany?

Hitler long admired Mussolini, and even tried to model his rise to power on Mussolini's. However, Mussolini did not return the admiration- in fact, Mussolini at first disliked Hitler quite a bit. In 1934, Nazis in neighboring Austria murdered their dictator, Engelbert Dollfuss; Italy nearly went to war with Germany over it (Mussolini and Dollfuss had been friends; also Mussolini didn't want Germany to gain Austria's territory, resources, etc). In 1935, when Germany began rebuilding its military in violation of the Treaty of Versailles, Mussolini met with British and French leaders at Stresa, Italy, to try to form an anti-German alliance. The attempt failed, as France and especially Britain had no desire to fight another war with Germany. Britain also made a deal with Germany behind Mussolini's back, allowing Germany to build a navy again.

All of this changed a few months after the Stresa negotiations. Italy went to war with Ethiopia after a skirmish on the border between Italian-controlled Somalia and Ethiopia; this led to a full-blown Italian invasion and occupation of Ethiopia. France and England wavered over whether to accept or condemn the invasion; this, along with Britain's naval treaty with Germany, shattered Mussolini's view of them. Only one leader really made any effort to support Italy's war- Hitler (although he also quietly gave supplies to the Ethiopians...).

Mussolini quickly warmed up to Hitler. He gave his consent to Germany's sending troops to the Rhineland region- an act also forbidden by the Versailles treaty (the Rhineland is a region of western Germany that borders France and Belgium). Around that same time, he also consented to Germany taking control of Austria, changing his stance since the Dollfuss assassination. Things moved fairly quickly from that point, as the two dictators shared a lot of common goals and ideas. An important point was that both strongly opposed Communism.

At the end of October 1936, Germany and Japan signed the "Anti-Comintern Pact", which was an alliance to help each other if Communists attacked one of them (at that time, the Soviet Union was the world's only Communist country). Two weeks later, Mussolini signed the pact as well. The Rome-Berlin-Tokyo Axis was formed; Hitler and Mussolini were officially allies.

Did Germany conquer Sweden?

No. Sweden was technically neutral during the war, but did do things to help Germany. Sweden has a lot of iron mines, so they sold this metal to the Germans (and Germany used it to make tanks, planes, ships and so forth). Also, Sweden has a long, bad history with Russia, so when Germany invaded the Soviet Union in 1941, Sweden helped Germany a little bit.

But Sweden did other things that Germany didn't like, such as help Jews escape the Holocaust. Once Germany started losing the war after 1943, Sweden started resisting German demands more and more- Sweden knew Germany was no longer a threat to them, so they were more able to resist.

What is Jupiter's axis tilt?

Axes aren't inclined, they are tilted. Orbital planes are inclined, and Jupiter's is inclined about 6 degrees from the Solar equator. Planes can also be inclined relative to the ecliptic or the invariable plane. Jupiter's axis is tilted about 3 degrees from the ecliptic.

Why did the Allies fight the Axis powers?

The Allies entered the war on September 3, 1939, when Germany invaded Poland, which was allies with Britain and France.

The United States entered the war on December 7, 1941, when Japan, Hitler's ally, attacked pearl harbor, before declaring war on the United States, which they had intended to do minutes before the attack via a note from the Japanese representatives who had been in America to discuss peace terms, but the note was not delivered on time, but instead some time after the attack.

This is a very brief description of the reason for the allies entering world war 2, but is meant to be an overview. If you want to know more, I suggest looking up operations Barbarosa and Overlord on wikipedia.

Was Sweden occupied in WW2?

It is an absurd to think that Germany was occupied unless it was a self occupation kind od happening.

In 1940 the ussr begin fighting against the finish with the help of Germany over Finland and won some tertorial grounds.

In 1940 Germany occupied denemark and Norway, In may fell belgium and holand. these victoried made it possible to atack France from the north-east. In June 1940 France was divided to two parts and the northern part was occupied by Germany eventhough there were not a lot of soldiers there- it was more a colabratory between northern fance and the 3rd Reich.

In June 1941 begin Germany with help from the finish, Hungary and romanien to fight on the eastern front in order to take over the ussr and by that breaking the riventrop-molotov agreement, during that period the srd Reich occupied the baltic countries, the ukraien and parts of the ussr, but also found it's downfall.

What was the aim of North African Campaign World War 2?

By the end of 1940 the Italians in Lybia & in Abyssiania (Ethiopia) were being opposed by the British & Empire forces. Operation Compass, led by General Richard O'Connor drove the Italians out of Cyrenaica, but then for political reasons his force was cut to allow the British to try to intervene (Disasterously) in Greece. Rommel then arrived on the scene with 2 small divisions. Oh dear! I suppose this leads me to the answer to the question: The aim (Initially) of the campaign in North Africa was control of the Suez canal. As WW2 progresses we have momentous events such as 2 battles of el Alamein, the Torch landings, the Mareth Line and the capture of many thousands of Axis forces in Tunisia. This led to what Churchill described as the invasion of 'the soft underbelly of Europe', invasions which, Husky, Avalanche, would give the Allies valuable lessons to be aware of when it came to the invasion of France.

How did Britain and France react to the Anschluss?

The British and the French had permited the Anschluss in 1938 because of various of reasons. First of all chamberlin the Brisith Prime minister thought that Austrians and Germans had a right to be united.He also felt that the treaties of Versailles after the first world war was being too harsh on Germany, and that it was wrong to separate the two countries. Britain's Lord Halifax had even suggested to Hitler before the anschliss that Britain would not resist Germany uniting with Austria.
