Britain - Winston Churchill\ndate of birth: November 30, 1874\nDied on January 24, 1965.\n\nSon of Lord Randolph Churchill and an American mother, was educated at Harrow and Sandhurst. After a brief but eventful career in the army, he became a Conservative Member of Parliament in 1900.\n\nSoldier, politician and finally prime minister, Winston Churchill was one of Britain's greatest 20th-century heroes. Churchill fought with the British Army in India and Sudan, and as a journalist was captured in South Africa (where his dispatches from the Boer War first brought him to public prominence). He became a member of Parliament in 1900 and remained an MP for over 64 years.\n\nhttp://www.who2.com/winstonchurchill.html\nhttp://nobelprize.org/literature/laureates/1953/churchill-bio.html\n\nGermany - Adolf Hitler\nDate of Birth: April 20 1889\nDied on April 30, 1945\n\nFounder and leader of the Nazi Party, Reich Chancellor and guiding spirit of the Third Reich from 1933 to 1945, Head of State and Supreme Commander of the Armed Forces, Adolf Hitler was born in Braunau am Inn, Austria, on 20 April 1889. The son of a fifty-two-year-old Austrian customs official, Alois Schickelgruber Hitler, and his third wife, a young peasant girl, Klara Poelzl, both from the backwoods of lower Austria, the young Hitler was a resentful, discontented child. Moody, lazy, of unstable temperament, he was deeply hostile towards his strict, authoritarian father and strongly attached to his indulgent, hard-working mother, whose death from cancer in December 1908 was a shattering blow to the adolescent Hitler.\n\nIn Vienna he acquired his first education in politics by studying the demagogic techniques of the popular Christian-social Mayor, Karl Lueger, and picked up the stereotyped, obsessive anti-Semitism with its brutal, violent sexual connotations and concern with the "purity of blood" that remained with him to the end of his career.\n\nhttp://www.jewishvirtuallibrary.org/jsource/Holocaust/hitler.html\n\nUSA - Franklin Delano Roosevelt\nDate of Birth: January 30, 1882\nDied on April 12, 1945\n\n He was elected President in November 1932, to the first of four terms. By March there were 13,000,000 unemployed, and almost every bank was closed. In his first "hundred days," he proposed, and Congress enacted, a sweeping program to bring recovery to business and agriculture, relief to the unemployed and to those in danger of losing farms and homes, and reform, especially through the establishment of the Tennessee Valley Authority.\n\n In 1936 he was re-elected by a top-heavy margin. Feeling he was armed with a popular mandate, he sought legislation to enlarge the Supreme Court, which had been invalidating key New Deal measures. Roosevelt lost the Supreme Court battle, but a revolution in constitutional law took place. Thereafter the Government could legally regulate the economy.\n\nWhen the Japanese attacked Pearl Harbor on December 7, 1941, Roosevelt directed organization of the Nation's manpower and resources for global war.\n\nAs the war drew to a close, Roosevelt's health deteriorated, and on April 12, 1945, while at Warm Springs, Georgia, he died of a cerebral hemorrhage.\n\nhttp://www.whitehouse.gov/history/presidents/fr32.html\n\nItaly - Benito Mussolini\nDate of Birth July 29, 1883\nDied on April 1945\n\nBENITO MUSSOLINI, (1883-1945), Fascist dictator of Italy from 1922 to 1943. He centralized all power in himself as the leader (il duce) of the Fascist party and attempted to create an Italian empire, ultimately in alliance with HITLER's Germany. The defeat of Italian arms in WORLD WAR II  brought an end to his imperial dream and led to his downfall.\n\nMussolini was born in Predappio, near Forli, in Romagna, on July 29, 1883. His father, Alessandro, was a blacksmith, and his mother, Rosa, was a schoolteacher. Like his father, Benito became a fervent socialist.\n\nIn November 1914 he founded a new paper, Il Popolo d'Itali

I am nominating Winston Churchill as the best leader in history. He got his country through the war and started the built-up after the war. A winning country in a war (if that exists at all) is always lagging behind economically afterwards and he could not avoid that but I think a great leader is also there to unite the people of a country and he did that very well. \n\nAs for the worst leader I was doubting between Hitler and Stalin. Not only did they kill an enourmous amount of people, either by war or by torture and execution. They got the countries at war with the rest of the world basically. Besides that they left their country and its people in a deplorable state, from which I think Russia is still recovering.

When you say "allied forces" you generally are referring to the allies (America, France, England, Russia, Australia, Canada, etc.)  The Axis was the German, Italian, and Japanese forces.

I'd say Germany, then Italy.

Um I think either North Korea or Iran might spark ww3. China & Russia would back them cuz they are communist or somehow allied or have common interests. I think on the side of the US, would be the UK, EU, Japan, & Austrailia. This is the big shocker though. The hidden communists in Canada would sieze power & use Canada as a staging ground to attack the US & UK. Most of ww3 would be fought in Canada or something along those lines with slight variations in the outcome depending on how it all unfolded.

The UK is the best ally although strong arguments can be made for Australia.  Israel, Japan, and Poland are strong allies as well.  Not that you asked but I'd say Canada is currently our worst ally.  France, Germany, and those ilk don't really count as worst *ally* because they are not truly allies any longer.

"Franklin Delano Roosevelt\nhttp://www.whitehouse.gov/history/presidents/fr32.html\nWinston Churchill\nhttp://www.winstonchurchill.org/i4a/pages/index.cfm?pageid=1\nJoseph Stalin\nhttp://gi.grolier.com/wwii/wwii_stalin.html\nMeet the "Big Three". These were the heads of the main allied countries who participated in the Yalta Conference in February of 1945. Yalta is a city on the coast of the Black Sea which was then part of the USSR and is now part of Ukraine. Their mission was to discuss post-war arrangements for Europe. Some of the agreements made at the conference included plans for dividing Germany into four zones of occupation (American, British, French, and Soviet), plans for war crimes trials, and plans for war reparations. Read some of the original documents pertaining to the conference."

That depends on which treaty you are talking about. Japan and Italy were Germany's ally. Germany had a treaty with Russia that Hitler stupidly changed his mind about and then attacked Russia. After Germany surrendered, there was a treaty with United Kingdom, France, Russia and the United States.
