What were the fascist countries during World War II?

As we all know, there were two fronts between the opposing sides in World War II: the fascist front represented by Germany, Japan and Italy; 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. Other countries participating in the Axis Group are generally not fascist countries. In principle, it is not divided by ideology. Franco of Spain, for example, is of course fascist in thought. However, due to various reasons, Spain did not participate in the war between the Axis Group and the Allies. So Franco's rule in Spain lasted until his death 1975. The countries participating in the Axis Group are Finland, Hungary, Romania and Bulgaria. Many of them turned to declare war on Germany at the end of the war. Some countries are occupied by fascist countries, and of course they cannot be counted as participating in the Axis Group. After being occupied by Germany, Austria participated in the war as a part of Germany, so Austria was given special treatment after the war. First, it occupied Austria like Germany, and then signed a peace treaty with Austria, stipulating that Austria would be permanently neutral and would not be allowed to merge with Germany under any circumstances.

From 1939 when Hitler dropped the first bomb at the Polish airport to 194 1 when he suddenly declared war on the Soviet Union, Nazi Germany occupied almost 90% of the land in Europe.

Neighboring countries are even more doomed. Seven of the eight countries were ravaged by the Nazis, including the Netherlands, Belgium, Luxembourg, Denmark, Norway and other countries that declared permanent neutrality at that time, while Switzerland, which was only important to Germany and Italy in strategic position and much weaker than other countries, was still safe until the end of the war. Why did Hitler decide to attack Switzerland in World War II not only because Switzerland was a so-called permanent neutral country at that time?

Then, why did Belgium and Denmark fall in the first wave of Nazi attacks? Or is Switzerland insignificant in Hitler's eyes, and he never considered occupying Switzerland? Fir was in front of Hitler, but he didn't attack Switzerland. Germany compiled an 85-page Swiss military manual in such a tiny place as Switzerland. If Hitler didn't want to attack Switzerland, he wouldn't have to spend so much time and money on such things. During the period of 1940, the German high command made several plans to occupy Switzerland unexpectedly and quickly, which were collectively called "Operation Fir".

This shows that Germany is not unprepared to attack Switzerland. But in the end, Switzerland was saved from the war. What is the reason? There are many reasons. First of all, after Dunkirk's retreat, Germany focused on Britain, and didn't have a chance to invade Switzerland until it invaded the Soviet Union. Secondly, Switzerland is mountainous, and the terrain conditions are very unfavorable for the German armored forces to fight, so they cannot give full play to the advantages of Blitzkrieg.

Generally speaking, Nazi Germany was busy invading Switzerland, and it was troublesome to invade Switzerland, but the benefits were not great and it was thankless. There are also some reasons, such as Switzerland's neutral attitude and the tradition that all the people are soldiers, which are relatively secondary. In the case of World War II, international law basically failed, and the cold neutrality could not stop the invasion. As for Switzerland, all people are soldiers, and the Swiss are more aggressive than the Germans. In the face of the powerful Germany at that time, it can be said that it was no use, and all countries had to rely on their strength to speak. The policy of neutrality is an inexhaustible trump card.

Switzerland's diplomatic skills have always been brilliant, and neutrality and neutral policy are the trump cards that can never tire of playing. At the same time, neutrality has been cleverly shaped into Switzerland's diplomatic advantage. Seriously, in World War II, Switzerland's neutrality was always a sad joke. During World War II, Switzerland had a popular satirical slogan: Switzerland worked for Germany six days a week, and prayed for the Allied victory on the seventh day.

Although Switzerland has never provided soldiers with direct participation in the war, it has never been a refuge outside the dispute. The relative integrity of Switzerland's national sovereignty and the miracle of its territory not being annexed have also received a temporary respite through various transactions. The Swiss never believe that someone will really let Switzerland go under the war, so every time there is a slight movement in Europe, the Swiss are as sensitive as rabbits and ready to resist stubbornly at any time.

One is to give blood transfusion to fascist Germany and Italy economically. 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 Germany with a loan of 654.38+0.5 billion Swiss francs, while Germany allowed Swiss goods to be re-exported through Germany. The second is to refuse to help Jews persecuted in World War II. The Swiss authorities took countermeasures to stop the influx of Jews. At that time, the Swiss government clearly stipulated that "Jews should not be regarded as political refugees".

The third is to embezzle a large number of Jewish property and act as a Nazi gold safe. It is reported that German Jews who were persecuted to death by the Nazis in World War II opened more than 50,000 accounts in Swiss banks, with a capital value of 6 billion US dollars. So far, only $6 million has been returned to Jewish organizations or donated to some international humanitarian organizations through the Swiss government. After the war, German Weekly pointed out that Switzerland was "neutral" only because it lacked formal cooperation with the Third Reich. The countries participating in the fascist front are Germany, Italy, Japan, Hungary, Romania, Bulgaria and Finland, and the first three countries are the core of this front.

Countries participating in the anti-fascist front are: the United States, Britain, the Soviet Union, China, Australia, Belgium, Canada, Costa Rica, Cuba, Czechoslovakia, Dominica, El Salvador, Greece, Guatemala, Haiti, Honduras, India, Luxembourg, the Netherlands, New Zealand, Nicaragua, Norway, Panama, Poland, South Africa, Yugoslavia and Mexico. Iran, Colombia, Liberia, France, Ecuador, Peru, Chile, Paraguay, Venezuela, Uruguay, Turkey, Egypt, Saudi Arabia, Syria and Lebanon.

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 United Nations) became members of the anti-fascist front because they were founding members of the United Nations.

Three other countries declared war: Mongolian people * * and China declared war on Japan in August 1945+00, Albania (fascist puppet government) declared war on Britain in June 194 10+00, and Siam (now Thailand).
