The United States and the USSR (Soviet Union). Great Britain and France were still considered part of the Big Four after the defeat of Germany, because they eventually had their own nuclear weapons.

What was they fighting for in World War 2?
Each country had their own reason for entering the war. Germany was pissed that they got screwed over by the Treaty of Versailles, Japan wanted to create an empire (at the expense of the "western" countries), Mussolini wanted to gain from France and Britain. Etc, etc.
Did Barbados ever declare war on Germany?
In 1914 and 1939 Britain declared war on behalf of the British Empire, so it was a 'non-option' for Barbados as it was a British colony. (In 1939, countries with dominion status in the Empire - Canada, Australia, New Zealand and South Africa - made their own decisions on this).
How did Germany's competition to build up its navy put them into an arms race with Great Britain during World War 1?
Negotiations for an alliance between Britain and Germany broke down in 1897, mainly because Britain wanted Germany only as a junior partner. Soon afterwards, Germany embarked on a huge naval building campaign. As Germany had only a small overseas empire at the time analysts in Britain concluded that the programme was directed against Britain. The result was a naval arms race - and much resentment. In WW1, however, Germany made very little use of its surface ships as it feared they would be sunk by the British navy. However, German submarines proved relatively successful and at one point in WW1 (1916) food stocks in Britain were down to about six weeks' supply. (At the time Britain produced only about 40% of its own food and the rest had to be imported).
