What was the collective name given to the japanese,german and italian forces in world war 2

[tubeway]

Axis

[Segilla]

That would have been my answer, but why that word?

[heathfield]

In anatomy, an axis is the central line about which everyhing is arranged. The word is similarly used in botany. So in WW2 it was applied to those countries who had a central common purpose - i.e. defeat of the Allies. It can be used to describe any alliance between nations or groups, such as the present-day ''axis of evil''
