Starting in times of the 1930's, among the many Axis members, the three memorable ones were Germany, Italy, and Japan. For country expansion each partner had their sights set to a specific geographic area. Germany would conquer most of continental Europe while Italy fought over the Mediterranean Sea. Japan would try and seize land in the Pacific and East Asia. The Axis Powers lacked an organized and secure military or foreign policy. To set a solution for this vulnerability, the three signed the Tripartite Pact on September 27, 1940. Due to this pact, it fully established the Axis Powers.

The fact that their was more than one crazy person like Hitler at one time is scary! These men were extremely smart but so evil. Just think of all the things they could have accomplished if they would have used their intelligence for good.
