World War II map

Well my title is messed the hell up.
So for my history class I need to make this full world history map. I need to label all of the axis and the allies, the thing is that I cannot find a map with the names of all the countries. Its really annoying, Its due tomorrow. All I need is to find a map with the county names on it, but I cannot seem to find one with legible writing on it. If anyone either has one, or can find one that would be amazing.
Btw I have to make the map during 1944.
Sorry about this, I know that basil isn't the place to ask for help.

I saw this map too, but if you know ur WWII history well, this map is really inaccurate. For one thing, the North African Campaign was ignored, and Imperial Japan's territories acquired during the war were ignored as well.

tbh, your best bet is just finding an uncolor world map, but it is not as bad as you make it. [url=http://img2.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20100704120341/axisandallies/images/7/7b/World_War_II_Revised.png]Here is a good reference[/url]
You just got to compare this map to modern map, and label out the capitals.

Dark Grey --> Nazi/Facist
Red ---> Communist/USSR
Dark Green --> Murica and others
Brown ---> British Commonwealth and others.
Yellow ---> Empire of Japan
White ---> Neutral

The only thing I don't like about this map is how it doesn't distinguished the Italians from the Germans, although Germany did provide alot of support to fight the allies during the Italian Campaign, so I supposed it makes more sense, especially if it's during the 1944s, when Italy was pretty much broken.

1944 before Dday or after Dday?

Important Battles

Battle of Bulge (Germany's winter counter offensive)
Operation Market Garden (Operation to take Antwerp and quickly into Germany, failed)
Stalingrad (strategic defeat of the German east army)
Battle of Britain (Germany's NOT HITLER's luftwaffe failed to defeat the royal air force)
Battle of Midway (Destruction of Japan's aircraft carriers, decisive American victory)
Guadalcanal (America's first land victory against the Japanese, stop the Japanese advance into Australia, which no Australian ever remembered)
The North African Campaigns (many battles, allied victory)
The Italian campaigns (many battles, allied victory)
The Normandy campaigns (many battles, allied victory)
The pacific campaigns
