(From Wikipedia, the free Encyclopedia)
Axis has several uses.
In mathematics, an axis is a straight line around which a geometric figure can be rotated. An axis of symmetry is a line with respect to which a body can be symmetrical. The term is also applied for the axis of a graph; the horizontal axis x-axis, the vertical y-axis and the z-axis is a possible third axis used for three-dimensional graphing.
In anatomy, the axis (C2) is the second cervical vertebra of the spine. Its articulation with the bone above, the atlas, allows rotation, and its articulation with the bone below (C3) allows a lesser degree of flexion, tilting and rotation.
In history, Axis can also be used to denote an alliance or partnership. When talking about the Axis (capitalised), usually the alliance of Germany, Italy and Japan in World War II is meant (see Axis Powers). George W. Bush also coined the term Axis of Evil, although the three countries listed (Saddam Hussein's Iraq, Iran, and North Korea) may not have been working together.

(From Wikipedia, the free Encyclopedia)
The Axis Powers is a term for the alliance led by Nazi Germany and between that state, Italy, and Japan during World War II.
Italy, facing opposition to its wars in Abyssinia (Ethiopia) from the League of Nations, forged an alliance with Nazi Germany, which had withdrawn from the League in 1933. The term was first used by Benito Mussolini, in November 1936, when he spoke of a Rome-Berlin axis in reference to the treaty of friendship signed between Italy and Nazi Germany on October 25, 1936. Later, in May 1939, this relationship transformed into an alliance, dubbed the "Pact of Steel".

- Bulgaria
The Axis was extended to include Japan as a result of the Tripartite Treaty of September 27, 1940. The alliance was subsequently joined by Hungary (November 20, 1940), Romania (November 23, 1940), Slovakia's puppet government (November 24, 1940) and Bulgaria (March 1, 1941).
Yugoslavia joined on March 25, 1941, but a British-supported coup d'état two days later put Yugoslavia's participation in question (although King Peter II of Yugoslavia actually declared his adherence to the treaty), leading to a Nazi occupation of Yugoslavia in April.
In Allied usage, Finland was often referred to as an Axis country, but it was never a signatory. Finland characterized its relationship with Nazi Germany during the Continuation War as co-belligerence.
Some Italians born in this time were named Roberto, which briefly acquired a new meaning from "Roma-Berlino-Tokio".

The Axis of Evil named by George W. Bush has the same connotations behind it as the Axis Powers, although the countries named may not be allied with each other.
