WW2 Axis Powers

Germany's invasion of Poland caused Britain and France to declare war on Germany; this led to the European war. The Pacific war had its origins when Japan invaded Manchuria in 1931 and later when Japan invaded China in 1937. The 1941 Japanese attack on Pearl Harbour involved America in the war, which then became a true global war.

It's because of BENITO AMILCARE ANDREA MUSSOLINI who followed aggressive policy.His main slogan before the nations were "Italy must expand or perish".He joined with Hitler ROME-BERLIN-TOKYO axis's thus Italy entered ww2.This entry made Italy so weak and lost its possessions of overseas territories.

Much like Britain and France, the United States did not take action against Italian and German aggression. Americans, British, and French were all scarred from the Great War that had just taken place (WW1), so they thought that by responding to Italian and German aggression could potentially start a war. American's did not respond because they wanted to avoid war at all costs.

2) Hitler marched his troops into the Rhine, the Sudetenland, the rest of Czechoslovakia, and Austria over the protests of Britain, France, and the US. On Sept. 1, 1939, Nazi Germany invaded Poland, thereby starting WW2 in Europe. The Poles fought valiantly against Hitler's forces; when they took refuge behind the Vistula River, and it seemed they could hold on until the arrival of the British and French, Stalin entered the war and invaded Poland from the east. About 2 weeks later it was all over for the Poles.
Stalin also invaded Finland on the flimsy pretext of protecting his northern frontier. The Finns, although outnumbered and outgunned, held off the Soviets for several months.
Japan annexed Korea in 1910. The militarists of Japan also invaded Manchuria (China) in 1933, trying to create what they called the "Greater East Asia Co-Prosperity Sphere." In their delirious minds, they thought that Asia would thrive if all of it was under their rule. The rest of Asia disagreed. Japanese brutality in Manchuria caused the US to enact a trade embargo against Japan. The Japanese used the embargo as an excuse for the attack on Pearl Harbor on Dec. 7, 1941, thereby precipitating America's entry into WW2.

Benito Mussolini, after seizing power in October 1922, lived in Villa Torlonia in Rome, central Italy. He is also connected with the Palazzo di Venezia, from which he orchestrated his government and delivered many of his most famous speeches

As we would have never agreed with the Nazis and their fuhrer's fanatical beliefs and ideas. The atrocities they committed could never have been more evil. For they are undoubtedly impossible to beat.

First answer: The Eastern front and Western front. The Eastern front: Germans attacked in Moscow. Soviets counterattacked and forced Germans to retreat.

The Western front: Under General Eisenhower, the Allied forces took on Operation Overlord to invade the Nazi occupied parts of Europe. Operation Overlord was the start of D-Day.

Second Improved answer: There were actually three fronts when you include the Mediterranean/Italian Front. This front began in North Africa, then to Sicily & on to Italy. The Allies fought there way north up the boot of Italy into the southern Alps towards Austria & Germany.

According to the Japanese Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communications, the population in Japan in October 1940 was estimated to be 73,114,308; in November 1945 the population was estimated at 71,998,104. Japan was visibly a thriving country that was hit very hard by the bombing.

about your question "how did countries respond to the invasion of Poland is:

GB and France declared war to Germany but there were no military actions on their part in the meantime, apart of some "skirmishes" on the North Sea and the Atlantic (navy actions of GB and Germany and the German invasion in Norway in April 1940). This declaration of war was called "phony war" until German's invasion of France in May 1940.

Answer to the first part of the question "during 1939 what happened to Poland as a result of the invasion".

In compliance with the Ribbentrop-Molotov Agreement, Poland was divided into to parts between Germany and Soviet Union. The territory occupied by the Soviets have never been recovered by Poland, who after the war received as compensation German territories westward. It's worth to point out that during the last days of fighting, Poland has been also invaded by Soviet Army which hit

the Polish Army from behind.

The USA, together with Britain, France and Russia formed the Allies. Their enemies were the Axis Powers, consisting of Germany (including Austria), Italy, and Japan.

Adolph Hitler (Germany)

Emperor Hirohito (Japan)

Mussolini (Italy)

According to the Japanese Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communications, the population in Japan in October 1940 was estimated to be 73,114,308; in November 1945 the population was estimated at 71,998,104. Japan was visibly a thriving country that was hit very hard by the bombing.

The axis of World War II consisted of the Soviet Union (until they joined the Allies after Hitler broke the treaty over the invasion of Poland), Germany, Italy and Japan.

# edit; Not quite right. Poland was invaded on the 1st of September 1939. Russia remained an ally of Germany until invaded by Germany in mid-1941. Nearly two years later.

Japan was never occupied or colonised by any European countries, and in the early days of trade with outsiders they were kept isolated and mixing with the local population was not allowed.

The First World War began on 28th July 1914 when the Austro-Hungarian Empire invaded Serbia starting a vast chain of alliances. Great Britain (of which England is a part) declared war on Germany on the 4th of August, entering the war so for the British it starts then.

The armistice took effect on the 11th of November 1918, which normally counts as the end date, and the final treaty officially ending the war was signed on 28 June 1919 by Great Britain. Technically peace with Turkey wasn't signed until 1924 since the dust had to settle on the break up of the Ottoman Empire.

The Second World War wrapped in several seperate ongoing wars under it's banner the first of which began as a war in Asia between China and Japan in 1937, but it is generally held in the United Kingdom (Great Britain) to have begun on the 3rd of September 1939 with a declaration of war on Germany (again!), after the Germans had invaded Poland on the 1st of September. The Poles, understandably, date it from the 1st!

The Germans surrendered on the 7th (taking effect on the 8th) of May 1945 although isolated units fought on for a few more days against the Russians.

The war with Japan was ended by surrender on the 15th of August, although it took until the 2nd of September to make it offical. The War is thus considered to have ended by all parties on the 2nd September 1945.

So for Great Britain the Wars are:

4th Aug 1914 to 11th Nov 1918 and

3rd Sep 1939 to 2nd Sep 1945

Other countries have various shifting dates to reflect their own entry and exit from the wars.

November 6, 1937 is when Italy joined the Anti-Comintern Pact, forming the Axis Powers.

The Filipinos fought with the Americans, but they lost the war in the Philippine's, So that makes them on the axis side.

There is not an exact answer to that question, as it is a debated topic. In my opinion, carriers proved to be decisive as they allowed one to transfer air support to places that were out of reach to planes being launched from land. However, the Nazis developed some pretty crazy things, some of which (namely the V2 missile and the ME 262 jet fighter) were not decisive as they came to late in the war to make much of a difference, but were quantum leaps in warfare and have been decisive to later wars.
