What countries were neutral in World War 2?

Neutral Countries in World War 2

Some of the countries that were neutral in WW2 were Sweden, Switzerland, Spain, Portugal, the Irish Free State (now the Republic of Ireland) and Paraguay.

Less famously: Lichtenstein, Monaco, Andorra, Turkey, Nepal, Afghanistan, Yemen, Bhutan, Spain, Portugal.

More input:

• Remaining European countries remained neutral. Portugal, Spain, Sweden and Switzerland all worked to some extent with the Axis.

Bad input! Completely mixing up things, neither Sweden nor Switzerland worked together with the Axis. Nowadays it has been proven that some industrialists and bankers of those countries (and they weren't the only ones) did deals with Germans. There were clashes from 1939 to 1945 between German and Swiss fighters... doesn't really sound like cooperating, does it?

Although Portugal did continue trade with the Axis during the war, they also allowed the Allies to use certain airfields within their jurisdiction for operations against the Axis Powers. They also turned a blind eye to British Intelligence, who were active in Portugal throughout the war.

A few countries were neutral for most of the war, and joined the Allies so late that their actions were no more than gestures. The best example is Argentina, which declared war on Germany on 29 March 1945.

Sweden allowed German troop trains to transit Swedish territory.
