The Axis powers were a group of countries that fought against the Allied powers during World War II. The main Axis powers were Germany, Japan, and Italy, although other countries such as Hungary, Romania, and Bulgaria also joined the Axis alliance. The Axis powers were united by their desire for territorial expansion and their opposition to the democratic and capitalist systems of the Allied powers. The Axis powers were ultimately defeated in 1945, leading to the end of World War II.
