Phamton,
That is a trick question. There was no axis of evil in WWII. There was the Axis Powers, Italy, Japan and Germany.
The Axis of Evil was coined by President Ronanld Reagan!
What Country was defeated by both the Germanys and the Allies? They lost the war twice, and in the end was on the side of the Allies!
