There is too much to write about on World War 2 for just one blog. So this one will be focused on the Axis powers of the war, who they were, who lead them, and why they where in the war.
The main Axis powers were Nazi Germany, Italy, and the Empire of Japan.
Nazi Germany
As I'm sure everyone knows, the leader of Germany in World War 2 was Adolf Hitler. Based on the steps he took, it would seem that Hitlers reason for being in World War 2 was an attempt at world domination. Hitler blamed World War 2 on western powers that intervened on Germany's war with Poland. Hitler also claimed that Germany need the war because they were overpopulating and needed to expand their boarders.
Italy
The leader of this axis power was Duce Benito Moussalini. When Italy entered the war against France and England Moussalini said, "We are going to war against the plutocratic and reactionary democracies of the West who have invariably hindered the progress and often threatened the very existence of the Italian people." Along with that Italy also claimed that they needed to expand so there would be more room for their citizens they said they were fighting for "spazio vitale" or, vital space.
Japan
The Empire of Japan was a constitutional monarchy ruled by a man named Hirohito. Japan defended its right to be in the war by saying that they were trying to unite all of Eastern Asia under Japanese leadership. They called it the Greater East Asia Co-Prosperity Sphere. They said they were trying to free Eastern Asia from the control of Western Powers, specifically USA.
