Detailed explanation-1: -The chief leaders were Adolf Hitler of Nazi Germany, Benito Mussolini of Fascist Italy, and Hirohito of Imperial Japan.
Detailed explanation-2: -Anxious that he would lose claim to conquered European lands as Hitler advanced, Mussolini entered the war in 1940. Italy fared poorly from the outset, with ignominious defeats in North Africa, Greece, and the Soviet Union. When the Allies touched down in Sicily in 1943, Mussolini’s own government arrested him.
Detailed explanation-3: -The Three Dictators: Mussolini, Stalin, Hitler.
Detailed explanation-4: -Mussolini, however, delayed joining Hitler until Nazi troops were just about to defeat France in June 1940. Mussolini then decided to invade Greece. But his army was beaten badly and had to be rescued by German troops. In 1941, he sent 200, 000 of his soldiers to aid Hitler’s invasion of the Soviet Union.
Detailed explanation-5: -In 1914, Mussolini founded a new journal, Il Popolo d’Italia, and served in the Royal Italian Army during the war until he was wounded and discharged in 1917.
