Concept note-1: -What did Italy, Germany, and Japan have in common in the 1930s? They sought to solve their nations’ problems through conquest. What prompted the United States to enter the war in 1941? terror and purges.
Concept note-2: -Resentment against the imperialist hegemons of the day-Britain and France-and the thwarting of Japan and Germany’s revisionist and expansionist aims during this crisis supplied common ground between the two countries.
