Korea and Vietnam were possessions of Allied nations at the start of the war, but were occupied by Japan. While under occupation there were resistance groups that fought against Japanese forces with the assistance of British and American troops once they broke through. Iran and Iraq were British possessions as was South Africa, but only South Africa helped send some sort of military support. British troops were in the middle east to protect the oil fields from Rommel and his Afrika Corps

South Africa fought alongside Britain from the start as part of the British Empire.

Answer 3

Japan occupied Korea from 1910 until 1945, Vietnam was a posession of France until the surrender in 1940, then it came under Japanese and Vichy administrative control. Iraq attempted to side with Germany, but was occupied by British forces, and Iran was under the control of the British.

Answer 4

At the time Korea was still controlled by China, Vietnam was a French colony(until taken over by the Japanese) and Iraq and Iran were British colonies. A lot of these countries were colonies or protectorates of the US or European powers.

Answer 5

Heres some obscure info about VietNam.

1941

Communist activist Ho Chi Minh secretly returns to Vietnam after 30 years in exile and organizes a nationalist organization known as the Viet Minh (Vietnam Independence League). After Japanese troops occupy Vietnam during World War II, the U.S. military intelligence agency Office of Strategic Services (OSS) allies with Ho Chi Minh and his Viet Minh guerrillas to harass Japanese troops in the jungles and to help rescue downed American pilots

Answer 6

South Africa was a Commonwealth nation and fought with the Allied nations.

Answer 7

As you can see from your question, we are, in a sense, still fighting World War II--lots of unresolved problems, proving that wars create as many problems as they solve. We are still fighting over Korea and Iraq and Iran, and of course there was our Vietnam and the Korean war, in which victory eluded us both times at great cost.

Answer 8

in WW2 Iraq fight alongside the Axis power coz at that time their country is colonised by Britain.however korea, vietnam and south africa fought alongside the Allied powers coz Korea and vietnam was conquered by Japan and for S.Africa many of its pilots got involved in Battle of Britain (one of them is Sailor Malan who ended up shooting down one of Luftwaffe's ace Werner Molders) so of course they were on the Allied side.
