Depending on your viewpoint, the Axis Powers - Italy, Germany and Japan - would fall under this.
Only true of Japan (with their prior takeovers of Korea and Manchuria) and Germany. Italy was on the Allied side in World War I (and didn't have much real war power in 2 anyway), and Japan had also taken action against German Colonies. So it could be said that Italy made a FaceāHeel Turn in the thirties with Japan being a Token Evil Teammate in WW 1.
Ketchum's corollary to Clarke's Third Law: Any sufficiently advanced tactic is indistinguishable from blind luck.

Many of the "team ups" listed under Live-Action Film don't seem to qualify as "team ups" so much. When one of the villains is clearly the henchman or lacky of the other, isn't that different? Riddler and Two-Face in "Batman Forever" is a team up; Red Skull and Arnim Zola in "Captain America: The First Avenger" isn't so much a team up, as Zola is just a hired engineer for the Skull rather than a villain in his own right.
