The nations involved were split into two alliances, the Allied nations and the Axis powers. When the war started the Allied nations consisted of three countries: France, Great Britian, and Poland; they were the most involved in the insurrection of the Nazi party. Poland's involvement was short-lived due to the Nazi's sudden invasion, leaving only France, Great Britian, and many smaller nations. During the early years of the war America only played as a supporter to the Allies, providing provisions and supplies when necessary; however on December 7, 1941 America officially became an official ally in the war after the bombing of Pearl Harbor. This became a turning point in the war because Adolf Hitler was desperately trying to avoid a war with the US, and now he finds himself fighting a more powerful force. Another disadvantage for Hitler came when he invaded Russia; as soon as he did Russia seceded from their pact with Germany and joined the Allies. Together Winston Churchill, Franklin D. Roosevelt, and Joseph Stalin were known as "The Big Three". These three were the main characters behind the Allies plan to invade Europe during the Battle of Normandy.
