This meme uses a four-panel cartoon format to depict the shifting dynamics of World War II. In the first panel, Hitler and Mussolini are shown smiling and facing only minor opposition. The second panel shows the USSR, UK, and US joining the fight, overwhelming Hitler and Mussolini. The third panel shows Hirohito of Japan peeking nervously from behind a wall, representing Japan's involvement in the war. Finally, the fourth panel depicts Hirohito and Franco of Spain looking on with concern, highlighting Spain's neutrality during the conflict. The meme's humor lies in its simplified and exaggerated portrayal of complex historical events.
