Talk:Axis powers

message: The section #Manchuria (Manchukuo) states that "Other countries who recognized the State were the Dominican Republic, Costa Rica, El Salvador, and Vatican City."
However, the Manchukuo article states (see history for attribution):
"In the 1940s the Vatican established full diplomatic relations with Japan, but it resisted Japanese and Italian pressure to recognize Manchukuo and the Nanking regime."
This seems like a contradiction, but correct me if I'm wrong.

replies: text: @Henry James Gomerson - Agreed. Our article on Manchukuo explains that this is a misimpression that came from the Bertolucci film, The Last Emperor. This source and this source appear to confirm that the Vatican did not recognise Manchukuo. No source is given on this page for the diplomatic relations of Manchukuo so you can simply delete the unsourced material. FOARP (talk) 13:14, 30 January 2024 (UTC)

replies: text: Not done: please provide reliable sources that support the change you want to be made. The FAQ at the top says  As discussed previously, co-belligerents of the Axis are not considered members of the Axis and hence do not go in the infobox. The question of including Iraq in the infobox has also been discussed multiple times (see the archives), and consensus has also been against inclusion. Liu1126 (talk) 23:40, 9 March 2024 (UTC)

message: Regarding the map of participants in the info-box, it contains inaccuracies:
* The USSR is listed as having switched sides from the Axis to the Allies, which is in between complete falsehood and utter lunacy. Neither the Molotov-Ribbentrop pact nor the joint-but-time-offset German-Soviet invasion of Poland ever made the USSR a member of the Axis, especially not de jure.
* Ethiopia is listed as having switched sides, but how can a colonial government (Italian East Africa) "switch sides" when it was disbanded altogether and replaced with a British military administration?
* If Ethiopia is listed as having switches sides, then Italy should have certainty been included in the list as well, but it was not. The situation with the Italian Social Republic complicates the matter, but since France is already dealt with separately (on the map) in terms of Vichy France and German-occupied France, the same could be done with Italy (showing the Italian Social Republic borders at establishment in blue, and the rest of Italy in blue but with a "switched sides from the Axis to the Allies" marker).
