Can a country be neutral in a world war?

Answer 1

Spain remained neutral throughout WWII as well. "World War" isn't a designation that makes participation mandatory, it is a label applied afterwards to describe the geographic scope of the war.

AnswerThis really depends on geographic location. I would point to the outbreak of the First World War when Belgium found itself between France and Germany. Belguim had only a small army and since Germany and France also share a border, hoped it could remain neutral. However, the German command thought it could achieve surprise by moving through Belgium and flanking the French forces.

When a request to move troops through Belgium was rejected, Germany promptly declared war and invaded, carrying out its flanking move and plunging poor old Belgium into the fight.

As a footnote, this invasion is essentially the reason Britain entered the war soon afterwards.

AnswerSwitzerland remained neutral in ww2 and was never attacked, and never fought, Adolph said that Switz was too hazardous because every home was required to own a gun, and the only way to invade was over the montains with tanks bc they Swiss would blow all tunnels, and tanks were not able to be dropped from planes. Answer'World War' is a convenient name given to the two main wars in the 20th century. It does not mean that literally every country in the world fought in these wars.

Answer

A country can declare itself neutral and many did. Spain was neutral for example. As was Switzerland. In practise, this was totally reliant on other powers respecting this wish.

In any future world war, the right would still exist but it would probably be a waste of time. A nuclear Holocaust would render Ireland uninhabitable regardless of whether they are actually fighting.
