Popular Article: Censorship

Book burning in 1933 in Berlin, Germany

Censorship is the editing, removing, or otherwise changing speech and other forms of human expression. In some cases, it is exercised by governing bodies but it is always and continuously carried out by the mass media. It most formally involves the suppression of ideas by criminalizing or regulating expression. What is censored may range from specific words to entire concepts. The most common reasons for censoring ("omitting") information are the particular interests of the distribution companies of news and entertainment, their owners, and their commercial and political connections.

-text=The '''Allied Powers''' were a group of countries (also known as the '''Allies of [[World War II]]''') that consisted of those nations opposed to the [[Axis Powers]] during the Second World War. Initially, as war broke out in [[Europe]], [[Adolf Hitler]]'s [[Germany]], with its expansionist ideology, was opposed by [[Great Britain]], her dominions and colonies, and by [[France]]. When France fell, Britain and her overseas possessions and former colonies were more or less alone in opposition to Hitler until the [[Soviet Union]] and the [[United States]] entered the war.

-The Second World War's opposing alliances pitted strong [[democracy|democracies]] against [[totalitarian]] regimes. The conflict and the two sets of alliances can be seen as representing a struggle between freedom and tyranny, although there was some movement between the two alliances. For example, [[Italy]], [[Hungary]], and [[Romania]] were among those nations that switched from Axis to the Allied Powers towards the end of the war. This was less because they wanted to side with the victors than because they had been initially coerced into joining the Axis Powers. Members of the Provisional Government for Free [[India]] joined the Axis, fighting with Japanese forces more to express its opposition to Britain's colonial rule than because it saw [[Japan]] as a natural ally.
