Allied Powers

The Allied Powers in World War II were the nations who joined in the United Kingdom’s opposition to the Axis Powers, contributing troops, resources, and support to the war effort. Franklin D. Roosevelt’s “Four Freedoms Speech” laid the foundations for the United States joining the Allies.

American Leadership

Roosevelt envisions the US as a leader in championing freedom and democracy. American leadership signifies the nation’s responsibility and moral obligation to actively engage with the world, inspiring other nations, supporting democratic principles, and fostering international collaboration to defend and promote these values. It entails acting as a beacon of hope, advocating for human rights, and exemplifying the ideals of liberty and justice. American leadership is characterized by a commitment to peace, stability, and the advancement of democratic ideals worldwide.

Axis Powers

The Axis Powers in World War II were primarily composed of three major nations: Germany, Italy, and Japan. These nations formed a military alliance in the late 1930s, aligning their totalitarian political and military goals. Other smaller countries later joined the Axis, either voluntarily or through coercion by the major powers, including Hungary, Romania, Bulgaria, and Finland.
