Thank you for trivializing a war my grandfather fought in and died. You should be ashamed of yourself.

Just kidding. I'm still trying to figure out who Japan would be..

You scared me for a second. The Japan-equivalent is tough to figure out. Maybe HTC, Sony, Nokia...not sure yet.

Yahoo is definetely the US! It joined the British and it's influence might be crucial

That could work - Yahoo is US, Microsoft is UK (and traditional Western Europe). AT&T could be Italy, Motorola is Eastern Europe. Nokia makes a lot of sense as Japan since they seem to have their own set of priorities but are kinda cooperating with Android (Google)...

This metaphor does not map. Apple, Microsoft and Google all compete in some areas and cooperate in others. Applying a martial metaphor, especially attempting to map the players onto WWII is not illustrative or illuminating.
