Which countries fought in World War 2 or World War 2?

Answer 1

It was fought mostly in Nazi Germany, Imperial Japan and Fascist Italy. There were no land battles in Japan's home islands. A lot of fighting took place in Russia. The Germans advanced through Poland, Belgium, the Netherlands, and France. Then the Allies pushed them back through the same countries. There were probably more battles in France than any other country.

Answer 2

There were many, but only a few fought throughout the war. The war in Europe involved Germany, Italy and, to a lesser extent, Austria and Romania on the "Axis" side and France, Great Britain, the Soviet Union and the United States (as well as the many members of the British Commonwealth like Canada and India, and smaller countries like Belgium, Poland, Finland) on the "Allies" side.The war officially started on Sep 1, 1939 when Germany invaded Poland. At that point, the Soviets were not in the war and neither was the United States. The French were defeated in 1940 and the Italians in 1943.

The US entered the European war right after it entered the Pacific war with the bombing of Pearl Harbor, Hawaii by the Japanese on Dec 7, 1941. The Pacific war was fought almost exclusively by Japan (Axis) against the US and Australia, and, to a lesser extent, Great Britain, the Netherlands, and China (Allies). Late in the war, the Russians also declared war on Japan so they could get some territory.

The War in Europe ended (V-E day) in the Spring of 1945. The Pacific war continued until the US dropped two atom bombs on Japan in August 1945.
