Western Allies

The Western Allies refers to the coalition of countries, primarily during World War II, that fought against the Axis powers (Germany, Italy, and Japan). Key members included the United States, the United Kingdom, France, and the Soviet Union. They worked together to defeat Nazi Germany and its allies through military operations and strategic collaboration. After the war, this alliance laid the groundwork for post-war reconstruction and the establishment of international organizations like the United Nations. The Western Allies also played a significant role in shaping global politics in the following decades, particularly during the Cold War.
