How did 1930s Germany and Japan form their alliance? What led to them coming together to form the Axis? Did they ever fight alongside each other, or were they predominantly fighting two separate wars?

It seems so strange that these two countries on opposite sides of the world teamed up to accomplish separate but similar goals. Both of them wanted world domination? Or did Japan just want China, while Germany just wanted Europe? Would they have co-existed if they had won the war, or would they eventually have turned on each other? Sorry, I know that last one is theoretical.
