The alliance was commonly known as the Axis Powers, based on an earlier agreement, the Pact of Steel between Germany and Italy, which established the "Rome-Berlin axis" (known after 1940 as the "Rome-Berlin-Tokyo axis").

The Axis was formed on September 27, 1940 under the Tripartite Pact of 1940 (not to be confused with the Tripartite Agreement of 1936, a financial agreement between the US, France , and the UK).
