Neutrality in World War II refers to the stance taken by several countries that chose not to participate in the conflict. Notable examples include Switzerland, Sweden, and Spain, which maintained their neutrality throughout the war. These nations focused on avoiding military alliances and conflicts, allowing them to remain independent and protect their sovereignty. Despite their neutral status, some countries faced challenges, such as pressure from both the Allies and the Axis Powers. Neutral nations often had to navigate complex diplomatic situations, balancing trade and humanitarian efforts while avoiding direct involvement in the war.
