<P> The Axis leaders of World War II were important political and military figures during World War II . The Axis was established with the signing of the Tripartite Pact in 1940 and pursued a strongly militarist and nationalist ideology ; with a policy of anti-communism . During the early phase of the war , puppet governments were established in their occupied nations . When the war ended , many of them faced trial for war crimes . The chief leaders were Adolf Hitler of Germany , Benito Mussolini of Italy and Emperor Hirohito of Japan . Unlike what happened with the Allies , there was never a joint meeting of the main Axis heads of government , although Mussolini and Adolf Hitler did meet on a regular basis . </P>
