Hirohito compared to hitler biography

The Axis powers of World War II was established with the signing of the Tripartite Pact in 1940 and pursued a strongly militarist and nationalist ideology; with a policy of anti-communism. During the early phase of the war, puppet governments were established in their occupied nations. When the war ended, many of them faced trials for war crimes. The chief leaders were Adolf Hitler of Nazi Germany, Benito Mussolini of Fascist Italy, and Hirohito of the Empire of Japan.^[1][2] Unlike what happened with the Allies, there was never a joint meeting of the main Axis heads of government, although Mussolini and Hitler met on a regular basis.

Not that the time has komma to close the ledger on the 1930s. Far from it. As, one by one, the familiar problems of the Thirties—including (to go no further than this morning’s newspaper) “competitive devaluation,” “exchange rates warfare,” and a “world depression”¹—loom up across our horizon, it is obvious that we need to know more, not less, about the decade that led up to World War II.

  Historians should not fear accusations of exaggeration when designating December 1941 as not only one of the most decisive months of World War II but, indeed, of all of modern history. It would be easy to extrapolate from this assertion and solely focus on Imperial Japan’s surprise attack on Pearl Harbor on December 7 and the United States’ Declaration of War against Japan on the following day. And it would be a serious mistake. 

  The Red Army’s launch of counterattacks on December 5 against the Germans, already halted in their advance on Moscow, as well as Nazi Germany and Fascist Italy’s declarations of war on the United States four days after Pearl Harbor, warrant equal consideration. Taken together, these momentous events, occurring just a week apart, quickly and radically transformed the conflict that was mor
