Which of the following was not a member of the Axis Powers in World War II?

Germany
Italy
Japan
United States

The correct answer is: United States

The United States was not a member of the Axis Powers during World War II; instead, it was part of the Allied Powers, which opposed the Axis nations. The Axis Powers primarily included Germany, Italy, and Japan, who formed a military alliance characterized by their expansionist policies and aggressive warfare against other nations. The United States entered the war after the attack on Pearl Harbor in 1941, joining forces with other Allied nations to combat the threats posed by the Axis Powers. This distinction highlights the roles and alliances formed during the conflict, illustrating the broader geopolitical landscape of World War II.
