+[[Germany]] and [[Italy]], together with [[Norway]] and [[Denmark]] (conquered by Germany in [[1939]]), make up a straight line from northern to southern [[Europe]] and were therefore called the "Axis powers" in [[World War II]]. The term also refers to the [[Central Powers]] of [[World War I]], due to some overlap and [[history|historical]] connection. The term was extended to Japan, as it fought on the same side. The other side coined themselves the "[[Allies]]".
+Axis (Powers) can also refer to:
   * The [[Axis Powers (Hitler's Mediterranean Strategy)|Axis]] from [[Hitler's Mediterranean Strategy]] that were defeated after the nuking of Oldenburg and Graz in August 1945 / Niigata and Nagasaki in September 1945 respectively.
