Which of the following countries was part of the Allies in World War II?

  1. Japan

  2. Italy

  3. France

The correct answer is: France

France was indeed part of the Allies in World War II. Initially, France was a significant member of the Allies, collaborating with nations such as the United Kingdom and the Soviet Union against Axis powers like Germany, Italy, and Japan. After the fall of France in 1940, the Free French Forces, led by Charles de Gaulle, continued to fight alongside the Allies, emphasizing France's role in the alliance. The other countries listed were part of the Axis powers during World War II. Japan and Germany were key Axis members, while Italy, although it was initially part of the Allies in World War I, switched sides and joined the Axis early in World War II.
