Alright, n00b time. If I'm Japan and joined the axis...

... and I'm not the leader of the alliance there is no way I can become leader once I'm already in it.

True or false?

 

[Gee]

... and I'm not the leader of the alliance there is no way I can become leader once I'm already in it.

True or false?

True.Unless germany gets annexed

True.Unless germany gets annexed

Which makes it a false statement

You will become leader of the Axis once Germany leaves the Axis, for example because it's being couped by the Allies or Soviets or because it's forced to leave it via event or because it's being annexed.

If you want to be Axis leader anyway - just make yourself so in the savefile.

OK, thanks for the help!

Wait actually, so when you say make myself leader in the save file, do you mean that I just play as Germany the next time I load the game or that I can be all tricky and somehow make Japan the leader like some sort of cheat?

Just open your savegame in notepad. Search for "axis" (without the quotes). You'll find an entry like this:

axis = { id = { type = 15000 id = 2 } defensive = no participant = { GER SLO } }

In the brackets it lists all members of the axis, the first of those is the axis leader - in this case Germany. Switch positions of Germany and Japan and you'll be alliance leader.

Note that the code above is from Armageddon 1.3beta2, which might be different from your version in detail, but the general concept is the same.
