During World War II, which country was part of the Allies?

Japan
Germany
France
Italy

The correct answer is: France

France was a significant member of the Allies during World War II. Initially, it was one of the primary countries resisting the Axis powers along with the United Kingdom and later joined by other nations, including the United States and the Soviet Union. Although France fell to German occupation in 1940, the Free French Forces continued to fight alongside the Allies, led by Charles de Gaulle, contributing to the liberation of France and the victory over the Axis powers. The other countries listed were part of the Axis. Japan and Germany were key Axis powers, actively combatting the Allies. Italy, while initially part of the Allies in World War I, switched sides and joined the Axis after entering World War II. This context highlights the significant role that France played in the Allies’ efforts despite the challenges it faced during the war.
