Axis Powers A term used from October 1936 to describe cooperation between the
Fascist regimes of Italy and Germany, and the creation of a Berlin–Rome Axis ‘round which all European states can also assemble’. Japan joined a month later, on signing the
Anti-Comintern Pact. A full military and political alliance between Italy and Germany (the ‘Pact of Steel’) followed in 1939, and this became a
Tripartite Pact in 1940. After Italy's entry into World War II in 1940, the term was applied to those countries that joined the Tripartite Pact and supported Germany in the war. Hungary, Romania, and the puppet state of
Slovakia joined the Pact in November 1940, while Bulgaria joined in March 1941. Yugoslavia's entry on 25 March 1941 did not prevent its invasion by Italian and German troops on 6 April 1941, though membership was continued by the ‘Independent State of
Croatia’.
