About the Axis Powers
The Axis Powers consist of the countries of Germany, Japan and Italy. That means during WWII they were the ones the US were fighting against. The war all started out with Germany (a Axis power) wanting to kill all the Jews. Hitler, (the leader of Germany) for some reason didn't like Jews for some reasons so, he made these camps. (Wels) Hitler named these camps concentration camps. The camps were originally for way stations and then, they became killing centers. (Ushmm.org) The Japansees attack Pearl Harbor to prevent the US to interfering with the military action of WWII in Germany. (The Attack of Pearl Harbor) The Italians talked with the German about their common interests and soon, they started working together. (ushmm.org)
