Consequently, the initial alliance resembled <a href="/wiki/Allies_of_World_War_I" title="Allies of World War I">that of the First World War</a>. As Axis forces began <a href="/wiki/German_invasion_of_the_Netherlands" title="German invasion of the Netherlands">invading northern Europe</a> and the <a href="/wiki/Balkans_campaign_(World_War_II)" title="Balkans campaign (World War II)">Balkans</a>, the Allies added the <a href="/wiki/Netherlands" title="Netherlands">Netherlands</a>, <a href="/wiki/Belgium" title="Belgium">Belgium</a>, <a href="/wiki/Norway" title="Norway">Norway</a>, <a href="/wiki/Kingdom_of_Greece" title="Kingdom of Greece">Greece</a>, and <a href="/wiki/Kingdom_of_Yugoslavia" title="Kingdom of Yugoslavia">Yugoslavia</a>.

The <a href="/wiki/Weimar_Republic" title="Weimar Republic">Weimar Republic</a>, which formed at the end of the war and subsequently negotiated the treaty, saw its legitimacy shaken, particularly as it struggled to govern a greatly weakened economy and humiliated populace. The <a href="/wiki/Wall_Street_Crash_of_1929" class="mw-redirect" title="Wall Street Crash of 1929">Wall Street Crash of 1929</a>, and the ensuing <a href="/wiki/Great_Depression" title="Great Depression">Great Depression</a>, led to political unrest across Europe, especially in Germany, where <a href="/wiki/Revanchism" title="Revanchism">revanchist</a> nationalists blamed the severity of the economic crisis on the Treaty of Versailles. The far-right <a href="/wiki/Nazi_Party" title="Nazi Party">Nazi Party</a> led by <a href="/wiki/Adolf_Hitler" title="Adolf Hitler">Adolf Hitler</a>, which had formed shortly after the peace treaty, exploited growing popular resentment and desperation to become the dominant political movement in Germany. By 1933, they <a href="/wiki/Adolf_Hitler%27s_rise_to_power" title="Adolf Hitler's rise to power">gained power</a> and rapidly established a <a href="/wiki/Totalitarianism" title="Totalitarianism">totalitarian</a> regime known as <a href="/wiki/Nazi_Germany" title="Nazi Germany">Nazi Germany</a>. The Nazi regime demanded the immediate cancellation of the Treaty of Versailles and made claims over German-populated Austria and the <a href="/wiki/Sudetenland" title="Sudetenland">German-populated territories</a> of Czechoslovakia. The likelihood of war was high, but none of the major powers had the appetite for another conflict; many governments sought to ease tensions through nonmilitary strategies such as <a href="/wiki/Appeasement" title="Appeasement">appeasement</a>. Japan, which was a principal allied power in the First World War, had since become increasingly militaristic and imperialistic; parallel to Germany, nationalist sentiment increased throughout the 1920s, culminating in the <a href="/wiki/Japanese_invasion_of_Manchuria" title="Japanese invasion of Manchuria">invasion of Manchuria</a> in 1931. The <a href="/wiki/League_of_Nations" title="League of Nations">League of Nations</a> strongly condemned the attack as an act of aggression against China; Japan responded by leaving the League in 1933. The second <a href="/wiki/Second_Sino-Japanese_War" title="Second Sino-Japanese War">Sino-Japanese War</a> erupted in 1937 with Japan's full-scale invasion of China. The League of Nations condemned Japan's actions and initiated sanctions; the United States, which had attempted to peacefully negotiate for peace in Asia, was especially angered by the invasion and sought to support China. <style data-mw-deduplicate="TemplateStyles:r1237032888/mw-parser-output/.tmulti">.mw-parser-output .tmulti .multiimageinner{display:flex;flex-direction:column}.mw-parser-output .tmulti .trow{display:flex;flex-direction:row;clear:left;flex-wrap:wrap;width:100%;box-sizing:border-box}.mw-parser-output .tmulti .tsingle{margin:1px;float:left}.mw-parser-output .tmulti .theader{clear:both;font-weight:bold;text-align:center;align-self:center;background-color:transparent;width:100%}.mw-parser-output .tmulti .thumbcaption{background-color:transparent}.mw-parser-output .tmulti .text-align-left{text-align:left}.mw-parser-output .tmulti .text-align-right{text-align:right}.mw-parser-output .tmulti .text-align-center{text-align:center}@media all and (max-width:720px){.mw-parser-output .tmulti .thumbinner{width:100%!important;box-sizing:border-box;max-width:none!important;align-items:center}.mw-parser-output .tmulti .trow{justify-content:center}.mw-parser-output .tmulti .tsingle{float:none!important;max-width:100%!important;box-sizing:border-box;text-align:center}.mw-parser-output .tmulti .tsingle .thumbcaption{text-align:left}.mw-parser-output .tmulti .trow>.thumbcaption{text-align:center}}@media screen{html.skin-theme-clientpref-night .mw-parser-output .tmulti .multiimageinner img{background-color:white}}@media screen and (prefers-color-scheme:dark){html.skin-theme-clientpref-os .mw-parser-output .tmulti .multiimageinner img{background-color:white}}</style><div class="thumb tmulti tright"><div class="thumbinner multiimageinner" style="width:308px;max-width:308px"><div class="trow"><div class="tsingle" style="width:152px;max-width:152px"><div class="thumbimage"><a href="/wiki/File:Poland_First_To_Fight.jpg" class="mw-file-description"><img alt="" src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/8/84/Poland_First_To_Fight.jpg/150px-Poland_First_To_Fight.jpg" decoding="async" width="150" height="225" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/8/84/Poland_First_To_Fight.jpg/225px-Poland_First_To_Fight.jpg 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/8/84/Poland_First_To_Fight.jpg 2x" data-file-width="257" data-file-height="386" /></a></div><div class="thumbcaption text-align-center">British wartime poster supporting Poland after the <a href="/wiki/Invasion_of_Poland" title="Invasion of Poland">German invasion of the country</a> (<a href="/wiki/European_theatre_of_World_War_II" title="European theatre of World War II">European theater</a>)</div></div><div class="tsingle" style="width:152px;max-width:152px"><div class="thumbimage"><a href="/wiki/File:%22China-First_to_Fight_-_NARA_-_513567.jpg" class="mw-file-description"><img alt="" src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/5/56/%22China-First_to_Fight_-_NARA_-_513567.jpg/150px-%22China-First_to_Fight_-_NARA_-_513567.jpg" decoding="async" width="150" height="224" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/5/56/%22China-First_to_Fight_-_NARA_-_513567.jpg/225px-%22China-First_to_Fight_-_NARA_-_513567.jpg 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/5/56/%22China-First_to_Fight_-_NARA_-_513567.jpg/300px-%22China-First_to_Fight_-_NARA_-_513567.jpg 2x" data-file-width="2012" data-file-height="3000" /></a></div><div class="thumbcaption text-align-center">American wartime poster promoting aid to China during the <a href="/wiki/Second_Sino-Japanese_War" title="Second Sino-Japanese War">Second Sino-Japanese War</a> (<a href="/wiki/Pacific_Ocean_theater_of_World_War_II" title="Pacific Ocean theater of World War II">Pacific theater</a>)</div></div></div></div></div> In March 1939, <a href="/wiki/German_occupation_of_Czechoslovakia" class="mw-redirect" title="German occupation of Czechoslovakia">Germany took over Czechoslovakia</a>, just six months after signing the <a href="/wiki/Munich_Agreement" title="Munich Agreement">Munich Agreement</a>, which sought to appease Hitler by <a href="/wiki/German_occupation_of_Czechoslovakia" class="mw-redirect" title="German occupation of Czechoslovakia">ceding</a> the <a href="/wiki/Sudeten_Germans" title="Sudeten Germans">mainly ethnic German</a> Czechoslovak borderlands; while most of Europe had celebrated the agreement as a major victory for peace, the open flaunting of its terms demonstrated the failure of appeasement.

The <a href="/wiki/Soviet_Union" title="Soviet Union">Soviet Union</a>, which had been diplomatically and economically isolated by much of the world, had sought an alliance with the western powers, but Hitler preempted a potential war with Stalin by signing the <a href="/wiki/Molotov%E2%80%93Ribbentrop_Pact" title="Molotov–Ribbentrop Pact">Nazi–Soviet non-aggression pact</a> in August 1939. In addition to preventing a two-front war that had battered its forces in the last world war, the agreement secretly divided the independent states of Central and Eastern Europe between the two powers and assured adequate oil supplies for the German war machine. On 1 September 1939, <a href="/wiki/Invasion_of_Poland" title="Invasion of Poland">Germany invaded Poland</a>; two days later Britain and France declared war on Germany. Roughly two weeks after Germany's attack, the <a href="/wiki/Soviet_invasion_of_Poland" title="Soviet invasion of Poland">Soviet Union invaded Poland</a> from the east. Britain and France established the <a href="/wiki/Anglo-French_Supreme_War_Council" title="Anglo-French Supreme War Council">Anglo-French Supreme War Council</a> to coordinate military decisions. A <a href="/wiki/Polish_government-in-exile" title="Polish government-in-exile">Polish government-in-exile</a> was set up in London, joined by hundreds of thousands of Polish soldiers, which would remain an Allied nation until the end. After a quiet winter, Germany began its invasion of Western Europe in April 1940, quickly defeating Denmark, Norway, Belgium, the Netherlands, and France. All the occupied nations subsequently established a government-in-exile in London, with each contributing a contingent of escaped troops. Nevertheless, by roughly one year since Germany's violation of the Munich Agreement, Britain and its Empire stood alone against Hitler and Mussolini. <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Formation_of_the_"Grand_Alliance"">Formation of the "Grand Alliance" </h2></div> <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r1236090951"><div role="note" class="hatnote navigation-not-searchable">Further information: <a href="/wiki/Diplomatic_history_of_World_War_II" title="Diplomatic history of World War II">Diplomatic history of World War II</a></div> Before they were formally allied, the United Kingdom and the United States had cooperated in a number of ways,<a href="#cite_note-:7-2">[2]</a> notably through the <a href="/wiki/Destroyers-for-bases_deal" title="Destroyers-for-bases deal">destroyers-for-bases deal</a> in September 1940 and the American <a href="/wiki/Lend-Lease" title="Lend-Lease">Lend-Lease</a> program, which provided Britain and the Soviet Union with war materiel beginning in October 1941.<a href="#cite_note-8">[8]</a><a href="#cite_note-9">[9]</a> The <a href="/wiki/British_Commonwealth" class="mw-redirect" title="British Commonwealth">British Commonwealth</a> and, to a lesser extent, the Soviet Union reciprocated with a smaller <a href="/wiki/Lend-Lease#Reverse_Lend-Lease" title="Lend-Lease">Reverse Lend-Lease</a> program.<a href="#cite_note-10">[10]</a><a href="#cite_note-11">[11]</a> The <a href="/wiki/Declaration_of_St_James%27s_Palace" title="Declaration of St James's Palace">First Inter-Allied Meeting</a> took place in London in early June 1941 between the United Kingdom, the four co-belligerent British Dominions (Canada, Australia, New Zealand and South Africa), the eight <a href="/wiki/List_of_governments_in_exile_during_World_War_II" title="List of governments in exile during World War II">governments in exile</a> (<a href="/wiki/Belgian_government_in_exile" title="Belgian government in exile">Belgium</a>, <a href="/wiki/Czechoslovak_government-in-exile" title="Czechoslovak government-in-exile">Czechoslovakia</a>, <a href="/wiki/Greek_government-in-exile" title="Greek government-in-exile">Greece</a>, <a href="/wiki/Luxembourg_government_in_exile" title="Luxembourg government in exile">Luxembourg</a>, <a href="/wiki/Dutch_government-in-exile" title="Dutch government-in-exile">the Netherlands</a>, <a href="/wiki/Nygaardsvold%27s_Cabinet" title="Nygaardsvold's Cabinet">Norway</a>, <a href="/wiki/Polish_government-in-exile" title="Polish government-in-exile">Poland</a>, <a href="/wiki/Yugoslav_government-in-exile" title="Yugoslav government-in-exile">Yugoslavia</a>) and <a href="/wiki/Free_France" title="Free France">Free France</a>.

In December, Japan attacked American and British territories in Asia and the Pacific, resulting in the U.S. formally entering the war as an Allied power. Still reeling from Japanese aggression, China declared war on all the Axis powers shortly thereafter. By the end of 1941, the main lines of World War II had formed. Churchill referred to the "Grand Alliance" of the United Kingdom, the United States, and the Soviet Union,<a href="#cite_note-:5-14">[14]</a><a href="#cite_note-:9-15">[15]</a> which together played the largest role in prosecuting the war.

The United States felt that the Japanese and German expansion should be contained, but ruled out force until Japan's attack.

In 1942, Mexico, the Philippines and Ethiopia adhered to the declaration. Ethiopia had been restored to independence by British forces after the Italian defeat in 1941. The Philippines, still owned by Washington but granted international diplomatic recognition, was allowed to join on 10 June despite its occupation by Japan. In 1943, the Declaration was signed by Iraq, Iran, Brazil, Bolivia and Colombia. <a href="/wiki/Anglo-Soviet_invasion_of_Iran#Occuption" title="Anglo-Soviet invasion of Iran">A Tripartite Treaty of Alliance</a> with Britain and the USSR formalised Iran's assistance to the Allies.<a href="#cite_note-33">[33]</a> In <a href="/wiki/Rio_de_Janeiro" title="Rio de Janeiro">Rio de Janeiro</a>, Brazilian dictator <a href="/wiki/Get%C3%BAlio_Vargas" title="Getúlio Vargas">Getúlio Vargas</a> was considered near to fascist ideas, but realistically joined the United Nations after their evident successes.[<a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:Citation_needed" title="Wikipedia:Citation needed">citation needed</a>] In 1944, Liberia and France signed.

Winston Churchill urged Roosevelt to restore France to its status of a major power after the liberation of Paris in August 1944; the Prime Minister feared that after the war, Britain could remain the sole great power in Europe facing the Communist threat, as it was in 1940 and 1941 against Nazism. During the early part of 1945, Peru, Chile, Paraguay, Venezuela, Uruguay, Turkey, Egypt, Saudi Arabia, Lebanon, Syria (these latter two French colonies had been declared independent states by British

It is that Germany seeks to establish a domination of the world completely different from any known in world history. The domination at which the Nazis aim is not limited to the displacement of the balance of power and the imposition of the supremacy of one nation. It seeks the systematic and total destruction of those conquered by Hitler and it does not treaty with the nations which it has subdued. He destroys them. He takes from them their whole political and economic existence and seeks even to deprive them of their history and culture. He wishes only to consider them as vital space and a vacant territory over which he has every right. The human beings who constitute these nations are for him only cattle. He orders their massacre or migration. He compels them to make room for their conquerors. He does not even take the trouble to impose any war tribute on them. He just takes all their wealth and, to prevent any revolt, he scientifically seeks the physical and moral degradation of those whose independence he has taken away.<a href="#cite_note-Speeches_that_Reshaped_the_World-37">[37]</a> </blockquote> France experienced several major phases of action during World War II: <ul><li>The "<a href="/wiki/Phoney_War" title="Phoney War">Phoney War</a>" of 1939–1940, also called drôle de guerre in France, dziwna wojna in Poland (both meaning "Strange War"), or the Sitzkrieg ("Sitting War", a pun on <a href="/wiki/Blitzkrieg" title="Blitzkrieg">Blitzkrieg</a>) in Germany.</li> <li>The <a href="/wiki/Battle_of_France" title="Battle of France">Battle of France</a> in May–June 1940, which resulted in the defeat of the Allies, the fall of the <a href="/wiki/French_Third_Republic" title="French Third Republic">French Third Republic</a>, the <a href="/wiki/Occupation_of_France" class="mw-redirect" title="Occupation of France">German occupation of northern and western France</a>, and the creation of the rump state <a href="/wiki/Vichy_France" title="Vichy France">Vichy France</a>, which received diplomatic recognition from the Axis and most neutral countries including the <a href="/wiki/United_States" title="United States">United States</a>.<a href="#cite_note-mondediplo_May2003_WhentheUSwantedtotakeoverFrance-38">[38]</a></li> <li>The period of <a href="/wiki/French_Resistance" title="French Resistance">resistance against the occupation</a> and Franco-French struggle for control of the colonies between the Vichy regime and the <a href="/wiki/Free_French" class="mw-redirect" title="Free French">Free French</a>, who continued the fight on the Allies' side after the <a href="/wiki/Appeal_of_18_June" title="Appeal of 18 June">Appeal of 18 June</a> by General <a href="/wiki/Charles_de_Gaulle" title="Charles de Gaulle">Charles de Gaulle</a>, recognized by the United Kingdom as France's government-in-exile.
