Countries
Soviet Union
The SU started with Germany and helped with the invasion of Poland, as they wanted to recover what they lost before. SU had to support Germany with raw material as they had made a pact before the war.
United States
The USA didn’t wanted to join the war this time, but they were forced to because of the Japanese attack in Pearl Harbor. As they declared war to Japan, they had to declare war to Germany because Japan and Germany were together.
China
China was already in war with Japan before WW2 started, since 1931 because of the Mukden incident. As they were already fighting Japan they joined the Allies side.
