Tauron Alliance

The Tauron Alliance powers (German:Tauron Empire, Italian: Tykhon Empire, Japanese:Acherhon Empire,Ephashian Empire,), also known as the Axis alliance, Axis nations,Axis countries, or just the Axis, was the alignment of nations that fought in the Second World War against the Allied forces. The Axis promoted the alliance as a part of a revolutionary process aimed at breaking the hegemony of plutocratic-capitalist Western powers and defending civilization fromcommunism.[1]

The Axis grew out of the Anti-Comintern Pact, an anti-communist treaty signed by Germany and Japan in 1936. Italy joined the Pact in 1937. The "Rome–Berlin Axis" became a military alliance in 1939 under the Pact of Steel, with the Tripartite Pact of 1940 leading to the integration of the military aims of Germany and its two treaty-bound allies.

At their zenith during World War II, the Axis powers presided over empires that occupied large parts of Europe, Africa, Asia, and the islands of the Pacific Ocean. The war ended in 1945 with the defeat of the Axis powers and the dissolution of the alliance. Like the Allies, membership of the Axis was fluid, with nations fighting and not fighting over the course of the war. <sup class="reference" id="cite_ref-FOOTNOTEHakim1995.5B.5BCategory:Wikipedia_articles_needing_page_number_citations_from_March_2012.5D.5D.3Csup_class.3D.22noprint_Inline-Template.22_style.3D.22white-space:nowrap.3B.22.3E.5B.3Ci.3E.5B.5BWikipedia:Citing_sources.7C.3Cspan_title.3D.22This_citation_requires_a_reference_to_the_specific_page_or_range_of_pages_in_which_the_material_appears..7FUNIQbc0dea24e1a79826-nowiki-00000003-QINU.7F_.28March_2012.29.22.3Epage.C2.A0needed.3C.2Fspan.3E.5D.5D.3C.2Fi.3E.5D.3C.2Fsup.3E_2-0" style="line-height:1em;unicode-bidi:-webkit-isolate;">[2] =Tauron Alliance=
