The main goal of the Allies during World War II was to defeat the Axis powers, primarily characterized by Germany, Italy, and Japan. This objective encompassed not only the military defeat of these nations but also aimed to restore peace, stability, and democratic governance in the affected regions post-war. The Allies sought to combat the aggressive expansions and totalitarian regimes of the Axis, emphasizing the importance of safeguarding freedom and human rights. Their collaborative efforts led to significant victories in pivotal battles, culminating in the eventual surrender of Germany in May 1945 and Japan in September 1945, profoundly reshaping the global order.
