How did the strategic balance between the axis and the allies shift in the axis favor between 1939 and 1940?
The Axis had had a huge military build-up before 1939, while the allies were unprepared for another world war. Poland lost against the Germans´ superior forces and tactics, and France fell by the summer of 1940 because the Germans were able to get around the Maginot fortifications by invading the Benelux countries. After Paris was captured, there was very little resistance left in the continental Europe against Germans. The non-aggression treaty between Germany and the USSR further stabilized the Axis dominance over Europe. In the Pacific theatre, Japan had invaded Korea, Manchuria and China. In 1939 and 1940 the Japanese had much of eastern China under control, and they had a more advanced army than the Chinese. Japan didn´t start to lose its dominance in Asia until the attack on Pearl Harbor.
