Hint:
> One of the main causes of world war II is the Treaty of Versailles. Which was signed forcefully.
> The rise of fascism and Nazism in western Europe also caused concern for these powers.
> This war was symbolically between anti-communist countries VS communist countries

Complete answer:
There were so many countries involved in world war II because of many underlying causes such as economic depression, failure of appeasement, the rise of militarian. This war was meant to regain political power especially in Europe where Germany and Italy were now more powerful (because of Hitler and Mussolini respectively).In Asia, the power was mainly in the hands of japan which tried to control the pacific region.

The countries were divided into two groups the axis power and the allied powers

1. Axis power:
> Italy -Mussolini fascist party believed in the supreme power of the state.
> Cooperated with Germany around 1936 onward.
> Germany-Hitler Nazi party also believed in territorial, ethnic purity.
> Japan-push for territorial expansion. Attacked Manchuria and invaded china.

2. Allied powers:
 > USA-aid to Britain, China, and USSR.declared war on japan.
 > Britain-war on Germany in 1939.
 > France-also declared war on Germany after Poland was invaded.
 > USSR-led by Stalin, signed a nonaggression pact with Germany. Eventually fought with allies.

Option B is also not correct because the turkey was not involved in WW2

Option C is also wrong because Italy is an axis party.

Option D is correct because all of them are allied parties.

Therefore, the correct answer is D
