What were the fascist countries during World War II?

As we all know, there were two opposing sides in World War II: the fascist front represented by Germany, Japan and Italy; and the anti-fascist front represented by the United States, the Soviet Union, Britain and China. Of course, the so-called fascist countries in World War II were only Germany, Italy, and Japan. The other countries that participated in the Axis Group are generally not considered fascist countries. In principle, they are not divided by ideology. For example, Franco in Spain, from Of course it is fascist in ideology. However, due to various reasons, Spain did not participate in the Axis Group's war against the Allies. So Franco's rule in Spain lasted until his death in 1975. The countries that participated in the Axis Group, Europe includes Finland, Hungary, Romania, and Bulgaria. Many of these countries turned to declare war on Germany in the later stages of the war. Some countries were occupied by fascist countries, and of course they cannot be considered as participating in the Axis group. After Austria was occupied by Germany, it joined as part of Germany. The war ended. Therefore, special treatment was given to Austria after the war. First, Austria was occupied just like Germany. Then a peace treaty with Austria was signed, which stipulated that Austria would be permanently neutral and would never be allowed to merge with Germany under any circumstances.

From 1939, when Hitler dropped the first bomb on a Polish airport, to 1941, when he suddenly declared war on the Soviet Union, Nazi Germany occupied almost 90% of European land.

The neighboring countries that bordered it could not escape the bad luck. Seven of the eight countries were ravaged by the Nazis. These seven countries included the Netherlands, Belgium, Luxembourg, Denmark, which had declared permanent neutrality at that time. Norway and other countries, but Switzerland, which was strategically important to Germany and Italy and was much weaker than other countries, remained unscathed until the end of the war. Why didn't Hitler decide to attack Switzerland during World War II? Was it just because Switzerland was a so-called permanently neutral country at the time?

So, why did Belgium and Denmark, both neutral countries, fall in the first wave of Nazi attacks? ? Or was Switzerland insignificant in Hitler's eyes, and he never considered occupying Switzerland? Operation "Fir" was placed in front of Hitler, but he did not attack Switzerland. Germany compiled an 85-page "Swiss Military Manual" for a small country like Switzerland. If Hitler did not want to attack Switzerland, he would not have had to spend so much time and money on such a thing. In 1940, the German High Command formulated several plans to quickly occupy Switzerland by surprise, collectively known as "Operation Fir".

This shows that Germany is not unprepared to attack Switzerland. But in the end, Switzerland was spared from the war. What was the reason? There are many reasons. First of all, after the Dunkirk evacuation, Germany focused its main energy on dealing with Britain. Until it later invaded the Soviet Union, it had no chance to invade Switzerland. Secondly, Switzerland is mountainous and the terrain conditions are very unfavorable for German armored operations, making it impossible to give full play to the advantages of blitzkrieg.

In general, Nazi Germany was too busy and had no energy to invade Switzerland. Moreover, invading Switzerland was too troublesome, with little benefit, and was thankless. There are also some reasons, such as Switzerland's neutral attitude and the tradition of all citizens being soldiers, which seem to be relatively minor. In a situation like World War II, international laws have basically failed, and a cold neutral attitude cannot prevent invasion. As for all the people in Switzerland being soldiers, the Swiss were more martial than the Germans. In front of the powerful Germany at that time, it can be said that it was of no use. Between countries, strength must speak for itself. The policy of neutrality is a trump card that it never tires of playing

Swiss has always been very skillful in diplomacy, and its neutrality and neutrality policy are a trump card that it never tires of playing. At the same time, neutrality has been cleverly shaped into Switzerland's diplomatic advantage. To be honest, Swiss neutrality in World War II has always been a sad joke. There was a widely circulated ironic slogan among Swiss people during World War II: Switzerland worked for Germany six days a week and prayed for the Allied victory on the seventh day.

Although Switzerland has never provided soldiers to directly participate in the war, it has never been a refuge from disputes. Switzerland's national sovereignty is relatively intact, and its national territory has miraculously not been annexed. This is also a temporary breathing space gained through various transactions.

The Swiss never believed that anyone would really let Switzerland go during the war, so every time there was the slightest movement in Europe, the Swiss were as sensitive as rabbits and were always ready to resist tenaciously.

The first is to provide economic blood transfusion to fascist Germany and Italy. Germany has always been Switzerland's largest trading partner. During World War II, Switzerland maintained economic, trade and financial relations with Germany. According to historical records, shortly after the outbreak of World War II, Switzerland provided a loan of 150 million Swiss francs to Germany, and Germany allowed Swiss goods to be re-exported through Germany. The second was the refusal to help the persecuted Jews during World War II. The Swiss authorities took countermeasures to prevent the large influx of Jews. The Swiss government at the time clearly stipulated that "Jews should not be regarded as political refugees."

The third is to embezzle a large amount of Jewish property and use it as a Nazi gold safe. According to reports, German Jews who were persecuted to death by the Nazis during World War II had more than 50,000 Swiss bank accounts and deposited funds worth US$6 billion. So far, only US$6 million has been returned to Jewish organizations or organizations by the Swiss government. Gifts to several international humanitarian organizations. After the war, the German "Weekly" pointed out that Switzerland's "neutrality" amounted to less than formal cooperation with the Third Reich. The seven countries participating in the Fascist Front are: Germany, Italy, Japan, Hungary, Romania, Bulgaria, and Finland. The first three countries are the core of this front.

The countries participating in the Anti-Fascist Front are: the United States, the United Kingdom, the Soviet Union, China, Australia, Belgium, Canada, Costa Rica, Cuba, Czechoslovakia, the Dominican Republic, El Salvador, Greece, Guatemala, and Haiti , Honduras, India, Luxembourg, Netherlands, New Zealand, Nicaragua, Norway, Panama, Poland, Commonwealth of South Africa, Yugoslavia, Mexico, Philippines, Abyssinia, Iraq, Brazil, Bolivia, Iran, Colombia, Liberia, France, Ecuador, Peru, Chile, Paraguay, Venezuela, Uruguay, Turkey, Egypt, Saudi Arabia, Syria, and Lebanon are 47 countries.

According to the agreement of the international conference, the founding members of the United Nations are all countries and regions that have joined the anti-fascist front. Denmark, Argentina, Belarus and Ukraine (the Soviet Union joined the Soviet Union) were founding members of the United Nations and therefore also became members of the anti-fascist front.

In addition, three countries declared war: the Mongolian People's Republic declared war on Japan on August 10, 1945, and Albania (the fascist puppet government) declared war on Japan on October 17, 1941. Britain declared war, and the capitulationist government of Siam (now Thailand) signed an offensive and defensive alliance with Japan on December 11, 1941, and declared war on Britain and the United States in January 1942.

So, 1.7 billion people from 61 countries and regions (accounting for more than 3/4 of the world’s population) participated in World War II?
