The Allied Powers were the main participants who opposed the Axis powers (Germany, Italy, and Japan) during World War II. Initially, the Allies consisted primarily of Great Britain, France, and later the United States, along with various Commonwealth nations like Canada and Australia. The Soviet Union joined the Allied forces after the Nazi invasion of the USSR. These nations formed a diverse coalition, united by their opposition to Axis aggression and the common goal of defeating fascism. Their alliance was built through a complex web of treaties, declarations, and shared strategic objectives. The Allied war effort involved significant coordination across vast distances and diverse military forces. While cooperation existed, disagreements over strategies and post-war plans were frequent. The ultimate victory of the Allied Powers was a pivotal moment in 20th-century history, reshaping the global political landscape and leading to the establishment of the United Nations.
