Are there anymore on that list? :)
Formally those three are the main Axis powers. But personally i would also add Finland, Romania and Hungary, all of which enthusiastically and voluntarily joined forces with the Nazis to invade the USSR.
Also Croatia and Bulgaria who collaborated with the Nazis to mass murder Serbs in Yugoslavia (the Croat fascists then finished the ethnic cleansing they started back in WWII during the Yugoslav wars in the 90s with the help of NATO).
In Asia, Thailand was the main Japanese collaborator.
Finally, Switzerland and Sweden managed to maintain plausible deniability by pretending that they were neutral but in reality both countries helped Nazi Germany a lot economically during the war, but i guess that doesn't suffice to qualify them as aggressor countries...
Da, jebi ustaše
I was curious if there were any more named countries on the UN charter. Not that the Charter itself holds any real power.
This is what the Charter says:
So that does include Finland
Looks like it, yes.
Oh Damn. (Honestly wasn't expecting you to search that up - thanks)
Wasn't Spain also an Axis collaborator?
Spain was fascist but not part of the Axis pact. The Spanish fascists received substantial help from Nazi Germany during the civil war against Republican Spain, but throughout WWII they declared themselves neutral and stayed mostly isolated due to being occupied with their own internal problems and exhaustion from the civil war.
They agreed to allow some volunteers to join Germany, but Spain itself never officially joined the war. There were plans for a potential joint German-Spanish attack on British territories on the Mediterranean but these never materialized because Spain was too vulnerable to a potential British trade blockade.
There was some trade with Nazi Germany including of a few resources that were important for the war, but the overall amounts were not large due to Spain being economically quite weak and devastated from the civil war. "Neutral" and "democratic" Sweden provided much more raw materials for the Nazis than fascist Spain did.
So yes, they were collaborators but not co-belligerents.
