What were axis countries conquering land?

During World War II, the Axis Powers, primarily Germany, Italy, and Japan, sought to expand their territories through aggressive military campaigns. Germany invaded Poland in 1939, leading to the rapid conquest of much of Europe, including France, Belgium, and the Netherlands. Italy aimed to establish a new Roman Empire in North Africa and the Balkans, while Japan sought to dominate East Asia and the Pacific, invading China and later attacking territories like the Philippines and Indonesia. This expansionist agenda ultimately contributed to the widespread devastation and conflict of the war.
