History of Oceania

What was the grand alliance of World War 2?

The Grand Alliance refers to the coalition of countries that fought against the Axis Powers during World War II. The Grand Alliance was formed in response to the aggression of the Axis Powers, particularly the German invasion of Poland in 1939.

The Grand Alliance initially consisted of the following countries:

- United Kingdom

- France

- Soviet Union

- China

- United States (joined in December 1941)

Over the course of the war, the Grand Alliance expanded to include many other countries, including:

- Canada

- Australia

- New Zealand

- India

- Brazil

- Mexico

- Poland

- Norway

- Denmark

- Belgium

- Netherlands

- Luxembourg

- Czechoslovakia

- Yugoslavia

- Greece

The Grand Alliance was not a formal alliance, but rather a loose coalition of countries with a common interest in defeating the Axis Powers. The Grand Alliance was held together by a shared commitment to democracy and freedom, and a determination to resist aggression.

The Grand Alliance played a crucial role in the defeat of the Axis Powers. The combined strength of the Allies, and their cooperation, enabled them to overcome the challenges posed by the Axis, and to ultimately achieve victory in World War II.
