What Was Relationship Between Japan and Germany During WW2?

Japan and Germany were friends during World War 2, helping each other fight against their common enemies.

Imagine you're playing a game with your friends, but there are two other kids who don’t like you, they’re the ones trying to stop you from winning. Japan and Germany were like those two friends in the game: they both wanted to beat the others, so they teamed up.

Japan was fighting mostly in Asia, near places like China and the Pacific Ocean. Germany was fighting in Europe, near countries like France and Russia. They weren’t next to each other, but they still helped each other, kind of like how you might help your friend even if you’re playing on different sides of the playground.

They shared secrets about their battles, and sometimes they helped each other by attacking the same enemies. It was like a big team-up in a war game!

Because they were both fighting against the same people, mainly the United States and Britain, they decided to be allies, which means they worked together as friends during the war. They hoped that working together would help them win the game, or, in real life, win the war.
