Looking at this question 'WHICH WAS THE WORST NATION IN WWII' from a different viewpoint.
It has to be the Germans, simply because they started it.

Could be, but the Japanese started it against America.

Good point guys, I have to agree with ya'll if we see it from that way.

I voted for Japan, not for that reason though. It was mainly the complete and utter disregard for allied POWs and the horror that Chinese civilians faced from Japanese soldiers.

belgium must rank highly as it gave the germans an easy path to france by not allowing the brits and french to pre position troops ....also after being liberated the belgians actually raised prices in the bars for booze over what the germans were charged

My great uncle had an interesting story to tell about an experience he and his squad had with a Belgian bar keeper. 
If you go by who started the war I would say Germany or Japan however if you go by military wise which is what I think was meant by this thread then I would have to go with France. They completely and utterly proved how a military should not handle a war.

Thats a good point, how are we defining "worst"? Most incompentent or most inhumane?
Well I think either one is easy to come up with.
Incompetent - France
Inhumane - Germany/Japan
Incompetent - France
Inhumane - Germany/Japan

this come as a little harsh to the French, but its all their fault!!!!!!
I mean come on they had the ULTIMATE FIGHTING MACHINE at the time they had better and more Tanks,Aircraft,Artillery and soldiers then the the Axis powers combined and they were crushed in 2 weeks, it was there 20 year old idea of war that got their butts kicked, their command was dispicable mostly in my mind because it was their "strong advisment" to the Brits not to leave the "imagino line" to form a blockade in front of the Ardennes, The Ardennes is where the Spearhead of the Blitz came through. And when the Germans shoved a few tanks up from behind the Imagino Line, the Franks defending it surrendered without even firing a shot, that was half of the Allied force down the drain, So now the remaining Allied force is running For Dunkirk, The French PM says "we will defend Paris to the last man", guess what? he did it the french way and surrenderd when France still had a fighting chance at winning this war early. So thanks to them the war lasted 6 years, millions of People died, And France till this day is still a bunch of bitter ungratefull yellowbelly's.
No offense.

I would go for Switzerland they did nothing and pocketed Nazi funds at the same time and they deported fleeing Jews back across the boarder knowing full well the fate that awaited them in order to save their own skins.
Welcome to the forum 102first_hussars. Another Canadian for the bunch, you guys are slowly taking over here! I concur with you. I believe the French were the worst. They had the capability of stopping the war before it started but they did nothing.

Im not going to say that the USA was but there are a few things they did that irritate me, like when the Brits needed the Americans most Uncle Sam turned the other cheek, it wasnt until the States were bombed by the Japanese they started to think our way, but till this day the Americans still think they won the war.
we couldnt have won it without them but they didnt win it.

Some Americans think that way, not all. It was a team effort by many countries.
I also wouldn't say that the US turned the other cheek. There was a butt-load of equipment going to Britain through the Atlantic convoys. The isolationist policies of the politicians was the problem at the time.
Also, after the battle of Britain, 244 American pilots made up the Eagle squadrons of the RAF (no 71, 121, 133). The first unit was formed in September of 1940 and the last of these were disbanded and transferred to the USAAF in September of 1942. They destroyed 73.5 airplanes and 77 Americans were killed during that time.
So there was some American help before Pearl Harbor was bombed.
