Germany, Italy, and Japan WW2 was mainly a clash of the Axis powers - Germany, Italy, and Japan,and others against the Allies- Britain, France, China, the Soviet Union. WW2 began when Adolf Hitler's armies invaded Poland in 1939. Hitler overran most of Europe, which left Britain (and later the Soviet Union) to fend for themselves. On December 7, 1941, after President Roosevelt declared aid to the Allies, Japan launched a surprise attack on the American base of Pearl Harbor, Hawaii. After that, the United States entered the war, taking the side of the Allies. Many sieges took place, like that of the Soviet Union and Stalingrad. Europe became involved after the D-Day invasion of June 6, 1944. Germany eventually surrendered after Hitler committed suicide. Harry Truman, who replaced FDR after his death in 1945, made a decision that brought Japan to its knees ... He used the newly invented atomic bomb on Hiroshima and Nagasaki in Japan.
