== == The two new military alliances were the "Warsaw Pact " that included all the Communist countries of Eastern Europe, led by Russia, and the North Atlantic Treaty Organization ( NATO ) led by the USA, and Great Britain. Each group pledged to assist any of the other member nations if they were attacked. This was the beginning of the decades long stalemate faceoff of the "Cold War ". The military tactics of the Warsaw Pact were built on a plan to invade Western Europe, and the NATO plans were built on a defence against that possible invasion by the Warsaw Pacts armies. The route of the invasion, by the Warsaw Pact forces, was to be thru the "Fulda Gap " a natural pathway into western Germany, from Poland.

∙ 12y agoThe alliances started before WWII: the steel pact between Hitler and Mussolini, and then the Axis Berlin-Rome-Tokyo. They also joined the anti-comintern pact.
UK and France had made defence pact with Poland, which already had a non-aggression pact with both Germany and Soviet.
So when Germans invaded Poland 1939, then France and UK had to declare war, and then the Russians took their part of Poland too, according to the Molotov-Ribbentrop pact where the two strong dictators divided Europe between them.
Actually the collaboration was quite extensive, where Stalin taught Hitler about concentration camps etc. This got an abrupt end with operation Barbarossa in 1941.
Some European countries had Nazi-friendly governments and took part in the German expansion, as parts of the Axis powers.
The alliance between UK and France relied on pre-war agreements, and somehow survived even when France capitulated 1940 and had an Axis-friendly regime. At that time UK actually fought against the French navy to hinder German takeover of the most important ships.
In June 1941 the British commonwealth was fighting alone, but towards the end of the war, many had joined the alliance, and the Nazi-friendly regimes in several countries had been dismissed, and people began to fight against the Axis. There was also a power struggle between communists and anti-communists, affecting the war in eastern Europe.
At the end of the war, the Axis basically was reduced basically to Germany and Japan, and the vast coalition of the Allies was represented by the leaders of UK, France, Soviet and USA, to determine the conditions of capitulation.
