The Axis powers (German: Achsenmächte, Japanese: 枢軸国 Sūjikukoku, Italian: Potenze dell'Asse), also known as the Axis, were the nations that fought in the Second World War against the Allied forces. The Axis powers agreed on their opposition to the Allies, but did not completely coordinate their activity.
The Axis grew out of the diplomatic efforts of Germany, Italy and Japan to secure their own specific expansionist interests in the mid-1930s. The first step was the treaty signed by Germany and Italy in October 1936. Mussolini declared on 1 November that all other European countries would from then on rotate on the Rome-Berlin axis, thus creating the term "Axis". The almost simultaneous second step was the signing in November 1936 of the Anti-Comintern Pact, an anti-communist treaty between Germany and Japan. Italy joined the Pact in 1937. The "Rome–Berlin Axis" became a military alliance in 1939 under the so-called "Pact of Steel", with the Tripartite Pact of 1940 leading to the integration of the military aims of Germany and its two treaty-bound allies.
Hetalia: Axis Powers (Japanese: ヘタリア Axis Powers, Hepburn: Hetaria Akushisu Pawāzu) is a Japanese webcomic, later adapted as a manga and an anime series, by Hidekaz Himaruya. The series' main presentation is as an often over-the-top allegory of political and historic events as well as more general cultural comparisons. Characters are personifications of countries, regions such as Hong Kong, and micronations such as the Principality of Sealand, with little reference to other national personifications such as Uncle Sam or John Bull. Both positive and negative cultural stereotypes form part of each character's personality.
The character roster is large and far from complete, but the main cast could be said to be the countries which made up the Axis powers and Allies of World War II - namely Italy (North Italy in particular), Germany, Japan, United States, England, France, Russia, and China. Hetaria (ヘタリア) is a portmanteau combining hetare (ヘタレ, Japanese for "useless" or "pathetic" in a cute or endearing way) and "Itaria" (イタリア, Japanese for "Italy") The main storyline's events occur during World War II, but the vast majority of the comics take place during other historical events, modern holidays, or at no specific time whatsoever. The series often uses satire and light-hearted comedy to reinterpret well-known events as well as less common historical and cultural trivia. Historical, political, economic, and military interaction between countries is generally represented in Hetalia as social interactions and misunderstandings between the characters.

Warning: Country personification and HETERO COUPLES u.u WELCOME BACK DOITSUUUUUUUU!!!!! :3 Man, this was a labour of Hercules to make... But in the end here it is! I love how this viddie turned out, it's one of my masterpieces! Anime/Manga: Axis Powers Hetalia Song: Rasputin Artist: Boney M THE PICTURES AND THE MUSIC USED IN THIS VIDEO ARE NOT MINE AND BELONG TO THE RESPECTIVE OWNERS.
EDIT JULY 2014, PLEASE READ: "Why didn't you add [insert important war/event here] to the video?" No, I'm sorry, but it wasn't possible to add every single important event in the history of time to the video. ;u; The video is two minutes long, and trust me when I said that we spent an huge amount of time on choosing what events to pick. It wasn't just like "Oh, let's pick that war and that war, done!", we had to think about it out of a dramatic standpoint, as well as showing off a huge variety of characters. If the event you expected to see didn't show up, we apologize, but it's nothing we can do about it at this point! However, I do apologize for the lack of Canada on the boat together with America and England; he was supposed to be there, but we...errrm...actually forgot about it until ...
So heres this video. I finished it like a week ago, but haven't had the chance or the internet connection to put it up. But I finally did it!!! *punches fist in air and cheers* Anyway, enjoy the video!!! Please rate and comment!!! I'm also making a video for the Axis Powers and another one for Canada. Look out for them soon! (as in like a month or something). AND I'm making one for either USXUK or FRXUK..... the song can work for either pairings and... nvm, we'll see.

...nooo, a czegoś takiego się u mnie pewnie nie spodziewał nikt x'D Krótka piłka, błądząc po jutubie znalazłam cudowną animację do piosenki, której nigdy wcześniej nie słyszałam, zakochałam się i postanowiłam zrobić cover. Jeszcze kilka lat temu byłam wielką fanką Hetalii, nadal ją lubię, ale oczywiście nie tak bardzo jak kiedyś. Animacja KutieKitty zauroczyła mnie tym bardziej, że chociaż historyk ze mnie marny, to lubię patrzeć na Hetalię ukazywaną pod innym kątem niż komediowym, a dodatkowo Kanada jest jednym z moich trzech ulubionych bohaterów z tej serii ^^ Thank you KutieKitty for letting me use your animation! Thanks to you I got to hear a great song, see an even greater video and got an inspiration to make a new cover :D Objaśnienia dat zaczerpnięte z opisu KutieKitty: 1534 –...
