Yeah, '45 I think, for the purpose of preventing WW III.

I think they're referring to nations united against the Axis powers.

Was the handle "allies" applied retroactively?

I don't think so, but it'd be an interesting thing to tease out. Maybe the focus grouping of "United Nations" didn't go well.

The phrase 'Allied Nations' was used during WWII, I'm almost positive, as well as 'Allied Forces'.

As in "Yesterday, in [insert French town], Allied Nations Forces under [insert American/British military leader] relieved a month long siege yadayadayada".

Yeah, I just yadayada'd World War Two...
