Axis powers negotiations on the division of Asia

During a long time ago, some countries in Europe and Asia were fighting each other in a big war called World War II. The bad guys in this war were called the Axis Powers, they were made up of countries like Germany, Japan, and Italy. The Axis Powers wanted to take over the world and they were really mean to people who didn't agree with them.

One of the places the Axis Powers wanted to control was Asia. They wanted to divide it up and each of them take control of a certain part of Asia. But they couldn't just take over without talking to each other first. So, they had a meeting where they talked about how they would divide up Asia.

They talked about which countries should belong to which Axis Powers, how much land each country should control, and where the borders between the different countries should be. They even made maps to help them decide!

It was a really important meeting because it would decide the fate of many countries and people. But the Axis Powers were very greedy and didn't care about the people who lived in Asia. They just wanted more power and control.

In the end, they came up with a plan to divide up Asia. But it was a really bad plan because it caused a lot of problems and hurt many people. The people who lived in the countries that were divided up didn't agree with the plan, and many of them were very unhappy.

The Axis Powers thought they had won by dividing up Asia, but they were wrong. In the end, they lost the war and had to give up the land they had taken, which helped the people of Asia to live in peace once again.
