Answer 2

The Grand Mufti Haj Amin Al Husseini - an major arab chief and founding father of Palestinian nationalism spent the warfare years in Berlin as a shopper of Himmler makingpropaganda for the Nazisand even recruited a muslim SS branch. The British lower than Lawrence of Arabia actual supported arab nationalism contained in the first international warfare at the same time as the Germans wer led by utilising the Kaiser and by no ability Hitler- this become as a fashion to defeat the Ottoman Empire which had sided with Germany. The note Palestine is actual pronouced Falastin in arabic or Philistine. The Philistines weren't arabic yet from Greek Islands. The Romans purely renamed the country Palstine Syria when they defeated Judea because the country become formally huge-spread. The Romans then renamed the country after the hebrews former enemies the Philistines as a demonstration of contempt.The Arab invasion didn;t ensue till 800 years later.

Answer 3

The three main Axis nations consisted of Germany, Japan, and Italy. There were minor Axis nations that at one time or another were intimidated or forced to join the Axis alliance. They include Albania, Bulgaria, Finland, Hungary, Romania, Thailand, Yugoslavia. Some of these countries switched sides mainly toward the end of the war.

Austria and Czechoslovakia did not sign the Axis Pact, though they were sort of Axis members because they were incorporated within German borders before 1939. Same goes for Korea which had been within Japanese borders since early 1900s.

There were also some Axis puppet countries like Manchukuo in China, Protectorate of Bohemia and Moravia in Czechoslovakia, and Vichy-France.

Spain remained neutral in the war, but was close with Germany especially early on in the war.

Sweden remained neutral, too, but they cooperated with Germans to a significant degree.

Answer 4

Italy and Japan were the only two nations to be actual allies of Germany in WW2. Finland was not an ally, it was the victim of a German invasion.

Mussolini's role was to make sure Italy did its part to strengthen the German position, but he failed miserably.

Germany did indeed lose the war against England, since Hitler failed to force England's surrender. While the German Air Force (Luftwafte) did serious damage to London and other British cities, it also managed to spur the British people to fight harder. So in that way Hitler also failed to put a dent in the British people's spirit, therefore losing the propaganda war as well.

Germany took its biggest losses against the Soviet Union. Trying to fight a war on three different fronts -- Eastern (against Russia), Western (against England and other Allies), and Southern (in Africa) -- was Hitler's biggest mistake.

As for causes of the war, there are too many to name. The primary cause was the economic devastation suffered by Germany following World War I, coupled with extremely severe punishments placed upon it by the victorious powers.

Answer 5

Thought this might be answered with so many responses, but forgot Americans have edited out the whole Eastern Front from 'their' history of WW2.

The 'Axis' was Germany-Italy-Japan, but Germany invded the Soviet Union with a phalanx of coalition armies: Finland, Romania, Hungary, Bulgaria, Slovakia. The Fins were cautious and only ejected the Soviet Union from the lands they gained in 1939/40 when Stalin invaded the country [the 'Winter War']- much to Germany's annoyance, they would not push on and help them capture Leningrad. The Romanians were numerically very important: they furnished hundreds of thousands of troops to bolster the Germany army, but Romanian, Italian and Hungarian units were largely wiped out during the Battle of Stalingrad.

The war against the Soviet Union lasted four years and the Germans suffered many defeats.

Mussolini, to make a long story short, kept trying to invade places to make Italy great, but his army and nation were not good fighters and they kept getting defeated and needing German help- which is why the war in North Africa went on for three years.

The Germans did not defeat England and this country fought back with a massive bomber offensive that destroyed many German cities. British troops, pushed out of France in 1940, returned on D-Day, with the Americans, in June 1944. But in terms of overall national effort the massive bomber campaign was their main contribution.

You have a lot to learn about this, obviously, and I'm pleased your teacher is getting you to study some of the lesser-known aspects of the war. Tuck into it because if you finish school not knowing anything about the most formative event of the 20th Century then you will go through life as a sad, ignorant individual, and embarrassment to your democracy. You wouldn't want that, would you?

And there is not shortage of books.

Answer 6

To answer your first question only:
Italy, and Japan WERE Axis nations,and thus they "took sides" with Germany during World War II. They actively helped Germany in many ways.

Finland was not an Axis member, but a co-belligerent with Germany against Russia, since in November,1939, Russia falsely accused Finland of of shelling the village of Mainila, and declared war on Finland, then attacked Finland on November 30th.

Finland fought three wars in order to maintain its independence. The Finns fought the Winter War alone against Russia (Nov. 1939 - March 1940). They actively helped Germany fight Russia, fighting independently of the Germans, in the Continuation War with Germany (Aug. 1941 - Sept. 1944), and the Lapland War (Dec. 1944 - April 1945) alone AGAINST Germany.

See Carl Gustaf Emil Mannerheim - the greatest Finnish person of all time!

the USA funded hitler from 1924

took the Money and Honored the Agreement

the USA never did anything to stop him whilst the UK was Trying Appeasement

Hitler took all this as approval and of he went


America with the collusion of the vice-chairman of the U.S. War Production Board in partnership with Göring's cousin in Philadelphia when American forces were desperately short of them? Or that such arrangements were known about in Washington and either sanctioned or deliberately ignored?

For the government did sanction dubious transactions—both before and after Pearl Harbor. A presidential edict, issued six days after December 7, 1941, actually set up the legislation whereby licensing arrangements for trading with the enemy could officially be granted.

Often during the years after Pearl Harbor the government permitted such trading. For example, ITT was allowed to continue its relations with the Axis and Japan until 1945, even though that conglomerate was regarded as an official instrument of United States Intelligence.

No attempt was made to prevent Ford from retaining its interests for the Germans in Occupied France, nor were the Chase Bank or the Morgan Bank expressly forbidden to keep open their branches in Occupied Paris. It is indicated that the Reichsbank and Nazi Ministry of Economics made promises to certain U.S. corporate leaders that their properties would not be injured after the Führer was victorious.

Thus, the bosses of the multinationals as we know them today had a six-spot on every side of the dice cube. Whichever side won the war, the powers that really ran nations would not be adversely affected.

And it is important to consider the size of American investments in Nazi Germany at the time of Pearl Harbor. These amounted to an estimated total of $475 million. Standard Oil of New Jersey had $120 million invested there; General Motors had $35 million; ITT had $30 million; and Ford had $17.5 million. Though it would have been more patriotic to have allowed Nazi Germany to confiscate these companies for the duration—to nationalize them or to absorb them into Hermann Göring's industrial empire—it was clearly more practical to insure them protection from seizure by allowing them to remain in special holding companies, the money accumulating until war's end. It is interesting that whereas there is no evidence of any serious attempt by Roosevelt to impeach the guilty in the United States,

reason FDR was afraid of Upsetting Corporate USA whose Cooperation was desperately needed to win the War in the Pacific
