Consider the following statements regarding the Rome–Berlin–Tokyo Axis alliance during the Second World War. 1. It was an alliance formed between Germany, Italy, and Japan. 2. Under this arrangement, Japan was allowed to expand its influence in Europe. 3. Germany and Italy were permitted to expand their influence in Europe. Which of the statements given above is/are correct?
1 and 3 only
The Axis Powers of the Second World War were Germany, Italy and Japan. Their alliance grew from the Rome–Berlin Axis of 1936 and the Anti-Comintern Pact, and was formalised by the Tripartite Pact signed in Berlin on 27 September 1940.
Step 1 — Statement 1 is correct: the Rome–Berlin–Tokyo Axis was the alliance of Germany, Italy and Japan.
Step 2 — Statement 2 is incorrect. Under the Tripartite Pact, Japan's sphere was 'Greater East Asia'; Germany and Italy recognised Japan's leadership in establishing a new order there, not in Europe.
Step 3 — Statement 3 is correct. Japan recognised the leadership of Germany and Italy in establishing a new order in Europe, so the European sphere belonged to them.
Step 4 — Thus only statements 1 and 3 are correct; any choice containing statement 2, or leaving out statement 3, fails.
1 and 3 only option is correct.
