Who Were Involved in WW2?

WW2 Intro Photo (Yalta Conference) In terms of nationality, five major countries participated in WW2.

Allies

Axis

Soviet Union

There are also many other countries involved in the war. For example, led by Generalissimo Chiang Kaishek, China played a critical role in tying down many Japanese Army troops, making them unavailable to defend against the American advances in the Pacific War. Italy, too, played an important role in the political arena before the start of the European War and with her actions in North Africa and the Mediterranean Sea. Poland, France, Ukraine, and other European nations suffered greatly as much of the European War was fought on their soil. Last but not least, Commonwealth nations such as Australia and Canada devoted much of their resources for the Allied cause.
