Shelby Meyer Mrs.cour Composition 8 May 2017 Axis Powers The Axis Powers were a group of countries during WWII (world war two). The powers were comprised of Germany, Italy, and Japan. They wanted to take over the world. They fought against the Allied Powers, which were basically the rest of the world, and they almost won. How? I m about to tell you! A big part of why they got so far was their leaders.Adolf Hitler, Benito Mussolini, and Hideki tojo These men knew how to get what they wanted. They spoke in a way to grab people s attention and make them listen. Together they were able to lead their individual countries, and be a powerful force.

So we know who lead the powers. How did these people get together? What did they have in common? They needed each other to build their power. So the process of forming the powers began. First the Rome-Berlin Axis began. This was between Germany and Italy. Another name for this axis was the Treaty of Friendship. This was on November 1st 1936. Later that month on the 25th NAZI Germany and Imperial Japan made a pact. The Anti-Comintern Pact was directed a the Soviet Union. The next year on June 37th Italy joined. Then Italy and Germany made another pact. The Pact of Steel which officially began the Axis Powers. And then on August 27th 1937 all three signed the last big treaty, the Tripartite Pact. The reason that they thought to work together was because they had so much in common and they all needed friends and were lonely. They all wanted territorial expansion and to make empires. They wanted to do this mainly by military conquest because that is the main way you do that. Also they wanted overthrow the post wwI (world war one) international order. All three of the countries did their part in taking over the world. Germany mainly focused on Europe seeing as they are in the middle of Europe. Italy took the Mediterranean Sea. Both the water and land in the area. Japan went for East Asia and the Pacific. A lot of conflict actualy happend befor the Tripartite Pact. For some examples
