The Allies in the First World War were Russia, France, and the United Kingdom.  Italy was initially part of the Central Powers (Germany, Austria-Hungarian Empire, and the Ottoman Empire) but it switched sides when it realized that this would be an opportunity to incorporate the "Tyrol" and the city of Trieste, areas controlled before the war by the Austro-Hungarian Empire.  Russia experienced Revolution in 1917 to overthrow the Czas with the result that Russia quit fighting Germany.  The United States then joined the Allies and sent troops to France in the knick of time, because Germany had just started to shift its troops westward from the Russian front.  So the Four great powers at the end of the war were the US, Italy, France, and the United Kingdom.

Unofficially, the US was involved with WWII from the beginning, by sending supplies to the Allies.\nOfficially, in 1941.

Britain has been an ally of ours since the first World War.\nAnd they're as fierce as ever to support the same matters we stand for.\nGod Save the Queen and God Bless the USA!

3 countries.\n\nPre 1920's British Mandate. Its the logical next step.\n\nI have a feeling 2 of them will be great future allies to us. One hosting one of the largest US military bases in all of history.

To answer your questions in order:\n\nYes, the Soviet Union (which included Russia) was an ally of the US and the British.  The USSR (Union of Soviet Socialist Republics, also called the Soviet Union.  Russia was a part of the USSR, but wasn't called Russia then), led by Stalin, signed a non-aggression pact with Hitler (leader of Germany).  This was in force until Hitler broke it and invaded the Soviet Union.  Stalin was taken unawares and unprepared, so Hitler did well at first.  Stalin therefore allied with the British and the US to fight the Germans.  The "cold war" didn't start until after WWII During the jostling for control over the states freed from the Nazis. \n\n*****\n\nThe USSR and the Japanese didn't work together.  The war in Europe against Germany) ended sooner than that in Japan (May 8, 1945 for Germany’s surrender and August 15, 1945 for Japan’s) and the USSR was free to declare war on Japan, which it did.  This was one of the reasons that the US dropped nuclear bombs on Japan.  It wanted to end the war before the Soviet Union forces entered the fighting, who would then stay and have control in that country and region.  \n\nAfter WWII Germany was divided into two halves, appropriately called West and East Germany.  The US, the United Kingdom (the British) and France controlled the West.  The Soviet Union controlled the East.  Germany was two different countries.  The US, UK and France set up a democracy in the West and then left (although the US left troops to guard against an attack from the Soviet Union, and many are still stationed there.  Now the bases are used as staging grounds for operations in the Afghanistan and Iraq).  The country they created was called the Federal Republic of Germany.\n\nThe Soviet Union established a country in the Eastern half, called the German Democratic Republic. This was not democratic though – it was communist.  The Soviet Union had many troops stationed there as well, and had a lot of influence in the Eastern half.  Vladimir Putin, the current President of the Russian Federation, worked in East Germany as a spy when he was part of the KGB (this isn’t a secret – he admits it freely and uses his excellent German in speeches).\n\n*****\nGermany played a very strong role in the War.  They were allied with Japan, but because they had some common enemies in their efforts to expand their territories.  In Europe, the war started when Germany annexed Austria and Czechoslovakia, claiming to be uniting the Germans who lived there (Austrians speak German and there were a lot of Germans in Czechoslovakia.  The moved there in the centuries that it belonged to the Austro-Hungarian Empire, the Austrian Empire and the Holy Roman Empire, which were all names used at different times to describe the same Empire ruled from the Austrian city of Vienna). At this point there was a lot of nervousness in Europe, as Hitler was using rhetoric such as “Germans need more land to live, which is their birthright.” But the British made a deal with Hitler that they would let him keep those countries if he didn’t go any further.  Hitler agreed, but he invaded Poland anyway, and kept going from there. He took France, Bombed England and wanted to invade, and moved through Eastern Europe.  He also invaded the USSR, as mentioned above.\n\nThe US at this point wasn’t involved.  Hitler made an alliance with the Japanese, who were engaged in their own war of expansion, because both were fighting the British and French (the British had a lot of Colonial holdings in the Pacific, and the French had some, too).  \n\nThe US became involved when the Japanese bombed Pearl Harbor.  The Japanese wanted the US to withdraw from the pacific, but instead the US declared war on the Japanese.  The Japanese and the Germans were allied, so Germany declared war on the US, which then also entered the European war.  It was already helping the UK and the USSR with equipment and logistical support,

White stripes! jack and Meg kick hard :)\n\nThe last time there was a real 7 nation army was WW2. The "coalition" formed was 3 or 4 nations woth most of the troops. 7 first world nations could hold back most individuals. Ghandi only had to face one nation's army. 'Course if one was sneaky and didn't give that army time to notice..."Taking their time right behind my back" , "I'm going to Witchita" ,Kansas Where Boeing has a large plant...could get things done there.

Napoleon practically had a European army. Hitler also came pretty close to having soldiers from all European countries in his armies.\n\nAt the moment the closest to a combined European army is joint operations. Already the Europeans share training facilities, equipment and airbases. \n\nThe European Union is still without a constitution but the last draft left military control to the individual countries in the union.\n\nThe main problem with a combined army will be the different military philosophies. The french always just want to surrender.

Are you talking about a threat to the US?  Doubt they are, since we are one of the few true allies that they have.

Iraqi civilians living in their country and US & UK soldiers are occupiers. Is it clear?\n\nYou may say allieds removed Saddam and did somethings for freedom and .....\nBut all of these answers are rehash. US soldiers are in Iraq and Afghanistan just for US benefits, NOT FOR DEMOCRACY.\nYou should know, someone like "Saddam" was supported by US several times because at that time US policy and benefits was so.\n\nIf I want to make a decision between innocent peope and professional soldiers, I'll select innocent people who are living in their country and if they had some problems with their leader, it wasn't their fault. It was related to aliens policy and benefits.\n\n> Saddam was one of US friends for a long time, untill US policy was change.\n\n>> Don't forget, allieds are in Iraq and Afghanistan and they are killing innocent people and unarmed men, women and children with some nonsense excuses, SO ALLIEDS ARE ENEMIES.\nI bet, if you was an Iraqi, you was an enemy and of course you tried to kill allieds because they are killing Iraqi people.\n\n>>> Have you ever seen (On TV and movies) ordinary people's resistance against Hitler's army during WWII?\nWho could say, those people were insurgents and saboteurs except of Nazies?

DJ Noek has it right.  Germany was Japan's ally. We declared war on Japan immediately, so Germany declared war on us.  So then we declared war on Germany.
