Spain, Ireland, Portugal, Sweden, and Switzerland are some of the countries that stayed neutral during WW2
England did not provide any large-scale assistance to the Confederacy during the Civil War. Blockade-runners did manage to ship some cotton to Britain and smuggle weapons and ammunition into the Confederacy, but England remained neutral throughout the conflict.
Although the republic of Ireland remained neutral during the course of the ww2 it did not stop its people volunteering. And when you consider the fact that England had promised Ireland, if they helped in WW1, they would get their republic of Ireland (i.e that Northern Ireland would no longer be part of Britain) and England then breaking their promise, followed by the Anglo-Ireland war and the civil war, one might find it quite astonishing that 150,000 Irish people North and South volunteered to fight against Nazi tyranny in Europe, at least 10,000 of whom were killed while serving in British uniforms…Other countries in Europe remained neutral ie Spain,Portugal,Sweden and Switzerland and unlike the latter two Ireland did not profit from trading with the Nazis
America is a large country whose people have many different opinions. Some Americans believed that America could remain neutral during World War 1, some believed that America could but should not stay neutral, and some believed that America could not stay neutral. Initially, those in favor of neutrality were the vast majority. Eventually those supporting participation in the war became a larger and larger fraction of the population, until they were so large that a declaration of war became politically possible.
