The Axis countries in World War II were Germany, Italy, and Japan. They were fighting for regional domination. Germany and Italy were seeking to take over portions of Europe. Japan was seeking to control China and other countries in Asia and the Pacific.

They were generally the "have nots" for natural resources. Germany was economically destitute after WWI and was paying reparations to the Western Powers. Italy went fascist in 1919 and was all alone until it joined the Axis Powers Treaty in the 1930s. Bulgaria and Hungary also joined along with Japan, Italy and Germany. Russia and Germany signed a non-aggression pact to get Poland out of the way, both for different reasons. Italy pursued its own aims in Africa. Japan started a war with China in 1931. The US refused to sell war materiel such as steel and oil to Japan, so Japan started the war with the US to force us to start selling war materiel to them. Germany and Japan wanted domination of the West and Japan with its "Greater Asian Co-Prosperity Sphere" (which was really the Japanese Empire takes over for the Western Powers) wanted to dominate the East. They expected to meet in Central Asia.

The Nazis were fighting for world domination and to get rid of "un pure" races. Russia, Italy, etc, were figthing so that Germany wouldn't attack them. The old "if you can't beat them, join them" trick.
I don't think Japan was with Germany, I think they thought that we would be weak cause we were fighitng already. They were basically being jackasses,

They were fighting for different reasons.
Japan: to get raw materials particularly oil for their own asian empire to function.
Italy: to acquire an empire and prestige
Germany: to conquer leibensraum in eastern Europe and particularly Russia and to exterminate the Jews.
These aims guided them into war with states like Britain who they didn't neccessarily wish to fight but who couldn't stand by as they did waht they wished. (This is a complex question by the way and this is just the beggining of an answer)

Spain, Germany and Italy (though Italy switched sides) were fighting for... well, themselves. There was all this romantic idealogy about race and war- they wanted to create an empire.
