Why Italy

How did the alliance between fascist italy and germany work?

Hitler promoted the idea of the ultimate aryan race and seems to speak of any other race as inferior. How was this not an issue with italy and later japans leaders with their alliance considering their populations full of different races?

1. maybe that demonstrates that he didn't want the whole world as we were told to believe
2. Both Italy and Japan were working within their own best interest. Neither bought into Hitler's Aryan race theories. In reality, all three were looking towards short=term economic objectives. Little favor or similarity existed between the three.
3. hitler only made an alliance with them because those countries are strong and have the same ideas with him. that is why they lose in the war because they have their own interests. they are not really united.
4. Hitler had observed and learned from the development of fascism in Italy which began in 1922 under Mussolini. Aligning with Fascist Italy made sense to Hitler in increasing chances of German expansion and dealing with enemies like France and Britain. Hitler actually made the Japanese allies 'honorary aryans'.
