Birds of a feather flock together; people divide into groups of their own kind. Adolf and Italy's Benito had a fairly good relationship, or rather, the leaders of extreme nationalism all got along well. They all believed in the "superiority of their own nation," yet this was clearly where the contradiction lay.
However, even Japan, an East Asian country of a different skin color, had been able to ally with both of them in the previous life. That also showed, to a certain extent, that under particular historical circumstances, they could collude with one another.
Their common enemies—the ones who "united" them—were the old world order that Britain and France struggled to maintain, the bourgeois democratic system, the Labor Party forces represented by the Soviet Union, and so on.
The old international order was, in truth, the distribution of benefits across the entire world. Thanks to their geographical advantages, East Africa and the United States could shake free of the international order's restraints and steadily, slowly nibble away at the global market without needing to rush. Germany and Italy, however, could not do the same because of their geographical circumstances. Both were locked within Europe; if they did not break the blockade, they might be dragged to death.
Bourgeois democracy was likewise the common enemy of extreme nationalists—or, more precisely, the enemy of people like Adolf, Benito, and the Japanese Emperor. This was another point tying Adolf and Benito's "friendship" together: both opposed democracy.
Finally, the Soviet Union and the Labor Party were even more their mortal enemies. Once the two came to power, their first step was to settle accounts with them.
