I Love Hetalia!

Hetalia is a historical satire of countries (the countries are personified) during WWI and WWII. It's HILARIOUS! I recommend it to all history geeks and those who need help in history.

The main characters are the countries that make up the G8, separated into two teams.


Team Axis: 

( Japan, Italy, Germany )

versus

Team Allies: 

( America, France, Russia, China, England (United Kingdom) )



The stereotypes of these characters conflict with one another

 which makes HETALIA incredibly humorous!
