The word allies is the plural of ally, which refers to countries in friendly military association with each other -- like pals. It is opposite of an enemy. In the WW2 sense, the Allies were all the countries opposed to the Axis (Germany, Italy and Japan).
The Allies of World War II, called the United Nations from the 1 January 1942 declaration, were the countries that opposed the Axis powers together during the Second World War (1939â1945).
