Mussolini's idea of "an axis around which nations could assemble":

The Axis Powers is a term for the alliance led by Nazi Germany and between that state, Italy, and Japan during World War II. The three major powers referred to the axis as the Rome-Berlin-Tokyo axis.

The term was first used by Benito Mussolini, in November 1936, when he spoke of a Rome-Berlin axis in reference to the treaty of friendship signed between Italy and Nazi Germany on October 25, 1936. Later, in May 1939, this relationship transformed into an alliance, dubbed the "Pact of Steel".
