Which countries did the United States fight in World War II?

• A. France and Britain
• B. Japan, Germany and Italy
• C. Russia and China
• D. Canada

Answer: (B)

The main idea is that World War II pitted the Allied Powers against the Axis Powers, and the United States joined the fight against the Axis. The United States fought primarily against Japan in the Pacific theatre and against Germany and Italy in Europe and North Africa. These three—Japan, Germany, and Italy—made up the Axis powers the U.S. directly contended with after entering the war following the attack on Pearl Harbor. France and Britain were partners on the Allied side, as were the Soviet Union (Russia) and China, and Canada. So the nations the United States fought against were Japan, Germany, and Italy.
