The Allied Powers were the nations that fought against the Axis powers (Germany, Italy, and Japan) during World War II. The four main Allied powers were Britain, France, the United States, and the Soviet Union. Britain and France were the first to declare war on Germany after the invasion of Poland in 1939. The United States joined the war in 1941 after the attack on Pearl Harbor. The Soviet Union joined the war in 1941 after Germany invaded. The Allied powers ultimately defeated the Axis powers in 1945. The alliance was marked by significant differences in ideology and goals, which led to tensions even during the war. The war effort saw the coordination of military forces, economic resources, and intelligence sharing across the Allied nations.
