Because it didn't end with Italy. The axis powers included Japan, Hungary, Romania, Bulgaria, Manchuria, Inner Mongolia, Reorganized National Government of China, Second Republic of the Philippines, Provisional Government of Free India, Empire of Vietnam, Cambodia, Laos, The Ba Maw Regime of Burma, Croatia, Serbia, Albania, Macedonia, and Greece. Most of these nations were forced into compliance. The Axis was coined at aiming a break in the hegemony of pluto-capitalist western powers and defending civilization from Communism and to Nazi's; known as a revolution. In terms of the actual word, An Axis is defined as an alliance between a number of states to coordinate their foreign policy. Both alliance and axis relatively mean the same thing although in mathematics. A central line(Germany) that bisects a two-dimensional body or figure(Japan & Italy). Or a line about which a three-dimensional body or figure is symmetrical.

The Aryan race were considered by Hitler to be pure.
Did you mean Fuhrer? If so, that was because "fuhrer" was German for "leader" and Hitler was the leader.
I believed he called it blitzkrieg, which were lightning quick attacks.

Benito Mussolini (Italian Dictator) was his main "friend" as you shall call it.
It wasn't an ideology that brought them together, it was world events. Hitler's Nazism and Mussolini's Fascism were somewhat related ideologies, but were rather different when you get into the details- until late in World War II when Italy was losing badly and practically became part of Germany. It's common to lump Fascism and Nazism together because they seem similar and are both quirky, extremist right-wing ideologies, but the reality is they are not the same. Nazism is entirely rooted in brutal racism, and doesn't emphasize much else. Fascism on the other hand, generally was not too concerned with racism (at first), but its followers regarded it as an alternative to both liberal democracy and communist dictatorship, and they had grand designs for forming a non-capitalist, non-communist economy. Nazis weren't really concerned much with economics, and their system wound up being basically what we'd today call "crony capitalism". Additionally, Mussolini initially had no respect for Hitler, despite Hitler's admiration for him. Mussolini, who in his early adult life had been a committed socialist, considered himself a great political philosopher and intellectual. He viewed Hitler as a buffoon and a charlatan, and criticized Hitler's "pointless racism". Mussolini also formed a close friendship with the "Austro-fascist" dictator of Austria, Engelbert Dollfuss, and nearly went to war with Hitler's Germany when Dollfuss was murdered by Nazis in 1934. Italy even formed a loose alliance with Britain and France in early 1935 called the Stresa Front, which agreed to fight Germany if Germany tried to conquer Austria. However, something both ideologies shared was a strong desire to conquer territory, and to bring military victory and pride to their respective country. When Italy began doing so- when they invaded Ethiopia shortly after the Stresa Front formed- Italy became a bit of an international pariah. Only Germany was uncritical of the invasion. With the Stresa Front shattered after the Ethiopian war, and France/Britain waffling on allowing or condemning the invasion, Mussolini finally warmed up to Hitler. Additionally, both Hitler and Mussolini supported the Fascist-like Nationalists in the Spanish Civil War, and sent troops and weapons to assist them. Early in 1936, Mussolini gave Hitler permission to take control of Austria, and by the end of the end of that same year, Germany and Italy formed the Axis alliance. The two dictators would remain close friends until Mussolini's death in April 1945.
why did they call hitler what?
yes No, this person is wrong. It is fashionable to call people fascist. It does a disservice to those very very few who have suffered under it.

Hitler modelled his 'Third Riech' on the Roman Empire. This can easily be seen in the classical building project which he embarked on. The open handed salute was copied from the Roman military salute. With the salute were spoken the words 'Sieg Hiel' which translated means "Hail to the call of victory" which was sometimes combined with a heel click.
Because Mussolini lost control of his people (and he was hanged) Hitler did not invade Italy. Italy joined Germany as an ally just prior to the invasion of Poland in 1939. Germany sent troops provide assistance to Italy during their campaign in Italy, Greece, and the Balkans. When the Allies began to win in Africa, the Italian people began to grow tired of the war. In July 1943, during the fighting in Sicily, the Italians over-threw Mussolini's rule and voted him out of office. Hitler saw this as treachery and began to take over the Italian Army. Many men were forced to serve the Germans or be sent to concentration camps. Hitler need to keep the Allies tied down in fighting and out of Germany. There were still Fascists in the Italian Government and the Italian Army that willingly fought alongside of the Germans and under the authority of Mussolini, who was set up as a puppet leader. After 8 Sept 1943, the Germans became an occupation force in Italy.
The Axis teams are the Germans in Russia and the Japanese in Japan.
