Italy's leader Benito Mussolini was a fascist the same as Hitler. Italy had a very anti-allied European view due to the events of WWI and the economic downturn following it. So they took a stance against The European powers in 1940. Japan was an imperial country with a constitutional monarchy (just like Britain) so it was almost natural for two imperial nations to decide to fight each other. Although there were many other complex political, economic, and territorial issues between Japan and Britain that also compelled them to become enemies.
