The Axis Alliance had two common goals-territorial expansion and the destruction of Soviet communism. The Axis leaders did this by strengthening their military with new war tactics; "blitzrieg" which was used in Germany to make their advance towards their oppents faster. They also used tactics of devolping weapons to adavnce them even more in technological warfare. However Italy was not very advanced in warfare due to not be as advanced in technological aspects. Therefore, they advanced in polictical aspects due to Mussolini's harsh ruling.

In the years 1939-1942 the axis powers won a series of battles that helped them. WHY WERE THE AXIS OF POWERS SO SUCCESSFUL? GERMANY: Germany was sucessful in the beginning of world war 2 mostly because of the war tactic "blitzkrieg" which was a molibe force of attack using both land and air forces. They also used the tactic of "combined arms" which is a type of warfare that consists of infantry, tanks, artillery, reconnaissance, and helicopters. Tanks were the most successful weapon used in world war1, so the Germans thought of various ways of destroying the tanks. They used anti-tank guns, which were nicknamed the "tank door knocker", they also used mines and other sorts of various anti-tank artillery.The Military was so successful because they had a very influential leader-Adolf Hitler user:lauren...u JAPAN: Japan joined Axis forces in 1940 causing the United States and Britain to go on an oil boycott. This angered Japan and caused them to start war with the United States and Britain. In 1941 Japan attacked the Allied powers at Pearl Harbor and other places throughout the Pacific. Over the next six months Japan was able to expand their control before the Allied powers started to come back.user:jAiMe___
