In the context of World War II, yet typically true in most other war-time contexts, remaining neutral was a matter of avoiding military confrontations in both direct and indirect ways. Formal declarations of neutrality established a 'non-combatant' status for nations wishing to avoid war. Practically speaking, however, it was not always easy to remain aloof, as was evident in the occasional loss of ships by the United States in the Atlantic Ocean due to the aggressive tactics of German submarines.
