The United States fought Japan, Germany, and Italy in World War II. These three countries formed the Axis Powers.
The war began for America after Japan attacked Pearl Harbor on December 7, 1941. Germany and Italy then declared war on the U.S. The Allied Powers (U.S., Britain, France, Soviet Union) fought the Axis on two fronts — Europe and the Pacific.
The war ended in 1945 with Germany's surrender in May and Japan's surrender in August after the atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki.
