Axis Powers

Axis Powers

Coalition headed by Germany, Italy, and Japan that opposed the Allied Powers in World War II. The alliance originated in a series of agreements between Germany and Italy, followed in 1936 by the Rome-Berlin Axis declaration and the German-Japanese Anti-Comintern Pact. The connection was strengthened by the formal Pact of Steel (1939) between Germany and Italy and by the Tripartite Pact signed by all three powers in 1940. Several other countries, including Hungary, Romania, Bulgaria, Croatia, and Slovakia, later allied themselves with the original Axis Powers.

But the Kurdish camp sees the Iran-led axis of anti-US/anti-Israel forces in the Greater Middle East (GME), which includes the Alawite/Ba'thist regime of Syria, being weakened considerably (see fap3IrqAxisCrisisSep14-09), while Maleki's alliance is capitalising on a new dispute with the Damascus regime as well as on Arab and US charges that the axis forces are involved in GME drugs and arms smuggling.
