The Allies

Type: Concept

As of November 2026, The Allies has been mentioned in one podcast episode on The Rest Is History (Nov 2025). The Allies are central to the discussion of World War II, particularly their strategies, failures, and the threat they faced from the Nazis.

The Allies, or Allied powers, formally referred to as the United Nations from 1942, were an international military coalition formed during World War II (1939–1945) to oppose the Axis powers. Its principal members were the "Big Four"—the United Kingdom, the Soviet Union, the United States, and China.
