User:AINH/中立國 (第二次世界大戰)
中立國是指在第二次世界大戰期間保持中立的國家，這其中不乏在海外擁有大量殖民地或擁有強大的經濟實力的國家。
一般來說，中立國在第二次世界大戰期間沒有正式表明立場，以其希望避免受到攻擊。 然而，葡萄牙、瑞典和瑞士都透過向英國提供「志願旅」來幫助同盟國。而西班牙則疏遠同盟國並支持軸心國，且向他們提供自己的志願旅藍色師。值得注意的是西班牙在德國入侵波蘭前五個月的1939年4月1日才剛結束內戰。這場內戰有多個外國介入，當中不少隨後又參與了第二次世界大戰。西班牙內戰也被認為是第二次世界大戰的前奏。
包括美國在內的大多數美洲國家於開戰之初一直保持中立。直到1941年12月8日，即日本襲擊珍珠港的第二天，美國正式加入同盟國參戰，多國隨即跟隨參戰。
1929年義大利與梵蒂岡簽署的《拉特朗条约》要求教宗保持「在國際關係中永久中立」，使梵蒂岡成為一個中立國家。
一些國家儘管努力保持中立，但仍遭受入侵。其中包括納粹德國於1940年4月9日入侵丹麥和挪威，英軍隨後於4月12日出兵佔領丹麥的領土法羅群島，以阻止法羅群島落入德國人手中。同年5月10日，德国入侵比利時、荷蘭和盧森堡。同日，英國入侵丹麥的附屬國冰島並建立了一支佔領軍，隨後被當時中立的美國接管。蘇聯於1940年6月入侵波羅的海三國。在巴爾幹半島，意希戰爭於1940年10月28日爆發，南斯拉夫於1941年4月遭到入侵。伊朗也於1941年8月遭到英國和蘇聯的攻擊和佔領。

波羅的海三國[编辑]
爱沙尼亚、
立陶宛、
拉脫維亞 – 波羅的海三國於1938年11月18日在里加舉行的波羅的海外交部長會議上聯合宣布中立，同年晚些時候，各自的議會通過了中立法。儘管如此，三國都先後被蘇聯佔領了兩次及被納粹德國占領一次。
冰島[编辑]
冰島 – 1940年5月起被盟军占领。
愛爾蘭[编辑]
愛爾蘭 – 在二戰期間歐洲開始爆發戰爭後，愛爾蘭議會在總理埃蒙·德·瓦莱拉主導下採取中立政策[1]。 儘管受到德國多次空襲以及同盟國和軸心國 均對愛爾蘭運輸船隊進行了多次襲擊，但在整場戰爭期間愛爾蘭一直能夠維持中立，而未曾加入同盟國或軸心國。值得注意的是英國曾經提議讓北愛爾蘭加入愛爾蘭，以換取愛爾蘭加入同盟國。唯英國政府在提出這一建議前根本未曾知會北愛政府，且德·瓦莱拉亦未能確保最後愛爾蘭真的得以統一等現實因素而最後拒絕這提議[2][3]。
葡萄牙[编辑]
葡萄牙在第二次世界大戰期間保持中立。葡萄牙在開戰之初就指出過去近600年所建立的英葡聯盟仍然有效，然而由於英國並未尋求葡萄牙的軍事援助，葡萄牙仍能夠保持中立。當中很大的原因是因為英國希望借著葡萄牙保持中立以抑制西班牙也保持中立，而非加入軸心國[4]。葡萄牙在臨近二戰尾聲的1944年11月28日與美國簽署軍事協議，允許美國使用亞速爾群島的秘密軍事基地。這違反了葡萄牙的中立性，使葡萄牙成為同盟國中的非交戰國[5]。

西班牙[编辑]
佛朗哥政權–西班牙最初保持中立，但當義大利於1940年6月參戰時，弗朗西斯科·弗朗哥將西班牙的地位改為非交戰國並佔領丹吉爾。自1940年6月起佛朗哥政權強烈傾向干涉主義。時任外交部長拉蒙·塞拉诺·苏涅尔是一位著名的法西斯主義者及親德派，在政府中極具影響力。[6]然而，即使在與德國官員進行了幾次會面之後，包括1940年10月23日佛朗哥和希特勒之間的昂代會面，西班牙也沒有正式加入戰爭。西班牙不願參加戰爭的大部分原因是西班牙依賴來自美國的進口，且西班牙仍未從內戰中恢復過來，加上佛朗哥知道他的武裝部隊將難以抵禦英國進攻加那利群島和西屬摩洛哥。[7]
隨着巴巴羅薩行動將主要戰區從地中海轉移至東方，西班牙不再感興趣插手干預。然而影響力下降的蘇涅爾仍然能夠創建由西班牙志願者組成的藍色師為軸心國而戰[8]，惟該師只能與蘇聯軍隊作戰。隨著戰爭風向明顯轉向有利於同盟國，佛朗哥於1943年10月將西班牙的地位恢復為嚴守中立[9]。
During most of the war, Spain had been a key provider of strategic tungsten ore to Nazi Germany. Amid heavy Allied diplomatic and economic pressure, Spain signed a secret deal with the United States and United Kingdom on 2 May 1944 to drastically limit tungsten exports to Germany and expel German spies from Spanish soil.[10]
Sweden[编辑]
瑞典 – Before the war, Sweden and the other Nordic countries announced their planned neutrality in any large European conflict. When Finland was invaded by the Soviet Union in the Winter War, Sweden changed its position to that of a non-belligerent, which was not defined by international treaties, thus freeing Sweden from the restrictions of neutrality. Among other things, it allowed the Swedish government to support Finland during the Winter War, allowed German soldiers on leave to travel through Sweden, and at one point allowed a combat division to travel from Norway to Finland through Sweden. The transit of German troops through Finland and Sweden and Swedish iron-ore mining during World War II helped the German war effort. Sweden had disarmed after World War I and was in no position to resist German threats militarily by 1940.
In 1943, the Swedish Armed Forces were much improved, and all such deals with Germany were terminated. Hitler considered invading Sweden, but when Göring protested, Hitler dropped the plan. The Swedish SKF company supplied the majority of ball-bearings used in Germany and was also important to Allied aircraft production.[11]
Swedish Intelligence cracked the German Geheimschreiber cipher and shared decrypted information with the Allies. Stalin was informed well in advance of Hitler's planned invasion of the Soviet Union but chose not to believe the information.
Danish resistance worked with Sweden to carry out the 1943 rescue of the Danish Jews by shipping them to Sweden. During the Liberation of Finnmark, Sweden sent Norwegian "police" troops over the border to link up with Allied forces. At the end of the war, Sweden was preparing to join the Allied invasion of Norway and Denmark if the occupying Wehrmacht forces rejected a general armistice.
Switzerland[编辑]
瑞士 – Switzerland maintained its neutrality to protect its own banking interests from plunder by the Axis. It also depended on German coal, with 10 million tons imported during the war, comprising 41% of Swiss energy supplies. The Swiss military often opened fire on Axis bombers invading its airspace; Switzerland also shot down Allied planes over its territory on several occasions. Throughout the war, cities in Switzerland were accidentally bombed by both Axis and Allied aircraft. Adolf Hitler did indeed plan to invade Switzerland, but Switzerland had formed complex fortifications and amassed thousands of soldiers in the mountains to thwart any Axis invasion. Because of the extreme mountainous conditions in Switzerland, Hitler decided to bombard the United Kingdom rather than engage in a costly war with Switzerland.
微型國家[编辑]
安道爾[编辑]
安道尔在整個第二次世界大戰期間保持中立。
列支敦士登[编辑]
列支敦斯登–在第二次世界大战期间，列支敦士登在保持中立的同时也是少数几个不承认慕尼黑协定以及第三帝国占领捷克斯洛伐克的欧洲国家之一，并且在二战中始终承认捷克斯洛伐克流亡政府为合法政府[12]，其位于战区的家族财产被带到列支敦士登（以及伦敦）妥善保管。此外，列支敦士登在戰爭期間盡可能緊密地與瑞士聯繫在一起，以希望保持該國的中立性[13]。在战争快要结束时，捷克斯洛伐克和波兰夺取了在其认为是德国领土的地区，而剥夺了列支敦士登王朝在波希米亚、摩拉维亚和西里西亚世袭的全部土地及所有权。列支敦士登亲王至今依然对这些土地提出主权要求，要求捷克和斯洛伐克归还所占领土[12]。
- 另外列支敦士登在二战快要结束时，曾拒绝苏联的遣返要求而为大约500名俄罗斯解放军士兵（一支编入德意志国防军的俄罗斯投敌部队）提供政治庇护[12]。值得注意的是列支敦士登是唯一拒絕蘇聯要求遣返俄羅斯人的國家，並告知蘇聯政府只有那些想回家的俄羅斯人才會被遣返[14]。

Iran[编辑]
Iran was neutral but was occupied by the Allies (see Anglo-Soviet invasion of Iran).
Saudi Arabia[编辑]
沙烏地阿拉伯 severed diplomatic contacts with Germany on 11 September 1939, and with Japan in October 1941. Although officially neutral, the Saudis provided the Allies with large supplies of oil. Diplomatic relations with the United States were established in 1943. King Abdul Aziz Al-Saud was a personal friend of Franklin D. Roosevelt. The Americans were then allowed to build an air force base near Dhahran.[15] Saudi Arabia declared war on Germany on 28 February 1945 and Japan on 1 April 1945, but no military actions resulted from the declaration.
Tibet[编辑]
西藏 (1912年－1951年) remained neutral throughout World War II. While de facto independent and under the rule of the Dalai Lama, it was internationally recognized as a regional province of the Republic of China. The Tibetan government received Allied (British and American) military officers in Lhasa in 1943.[16] Following the end of World War II and the defeat of the Nationalists by the Communists led by Mao Zedong in the Chinese Civil War, Tibet was invaded and annexed by China in 1951.
Turkey[编辑]
土耳其 was neutral until several months before the end of the war, at which point it joined the Allies. Prior to the outbreak of war, Turkey signed a Mutual Aid Pact with France and Britain in 1939. After the German invasion of France, however, Turkey remained neutral, relying on a clause excusing them if military action might bring conflict with the USSR. In June 1941, after neighbouring Bulgaria joined the Axis and allowed Germany to move troops through to invade Yugoslavia and Greece, Turkey signed a treaty of friendship with Germany. Winston Churchill and his military staff met the Turkish president on 30 January 1943 in the Adana Conference, although Turkey did not then change its position.- Turkey was an important producer of chromite, a strategic material for metallurgy to which Germany had limited access. The Germans wanted it, and the Allies wanted to prevent them getting it, so chromite was the key issue in Turkey's negotiations with both sides. Turkey would backpedal on its agreement to supply Nazi Germany with chromite after instead selling it to the rival nations the United States and the United Kingdom after the two allied nations agreed to also purchase dried fruit and tobacco from Turkey as well.[17] Turkey halted its sales to Germany in April 1944 and broke off relations in August. In February 1945, after the Allies made its invitation to the inaugural meeting of the United Nations (along with the invitations of several other nations) conditional on full belligerency, Turkey declared war on the Axis powers, but no Turkish troops ever saw combat.
也門[编辑]

美洲[编辑]
珍珠港事件前整個美洲基本上除加拿大以外並無國家加入任一陣營。珍珠港事件後多個美洲國家隨即跟隨美國向軸心國宣戰，包括哥斯達黎加、多明尼加、薩爾瓦多、危地馬拉、海地、洪都拉斯、尼加拉瓜、巴拿馬等。墨西哥和巴西分別在1942年向軸心國宣戰，智利、玻利維亞及哥倫比亞分別在1943年宣戰。
美國[编辑]
美國 – The United States remained neutral at the outbreak of World War II in compliance with the Neutrality Act of 1936 despite favoring the Allied side. However, the sudden defeat of France by Nazi Germany in the spring of 1940 led the country to significantly expand its armed forces through the Selective Training and Service Act of 1940. On 29 December of that year, President Franklin D. Roosevelt declared that the United States was to be the "Arsenal of Democracy" for the Allies by giving them supplies while the country remained neutral. The U.S. remained neutral until 8 December 1941, when it declared war on Japan in response to the surprise attack on Pearl Harbor the previous day.
Argentina[编辑]
Argentina – Before the start of World War II in 1939, Argentina had maintained a long tradition of neutrality regarding European wars, which had been upheld and defended by all major political parties since the 19th century. One of the main reasons for this policy was related to Argentina's economic position as one of the world's leading exporters of foodstuffs and agricultural products, to Europe in general and to the United Kingdom in particular.[18] Thus, initially, even though the government of Argentina was sympathetic to the Allies[19] and provided economic assistance to the United Kingdom,[20] the country's political tradition of neutralism prevailed. Following the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor and the subsequent American declaration of war upon Japan, American pressure for Argentine entry into the war begun to increase.[19] Relations worsened further following a military coup in 1943, as the plotters were accused of holding Axis sympathies.[20] Because of strong divisions and internal disputes between members of the Argentine military, the country would continue to remain neutral, even after American sanctions.[20] However, Argentina eventually gave in to the Allies' pressure, broke relations with the Axis powers on January 26, 1944,[20] and declared war on March 27, 1945.[20] Over 4,000 Argentine volunteers fought on the Allied side.[21]
Conclusion[编辑]
Portugal, Spain, Sweden, and Switzerland held to the concept of armed neutrality, and continuously amassed soldiers to defend their nation's sovereignty from potential invasion. Thus, they maintained the right to become belligerent if attacked while in a state of neutrality. The concept of neutrality in war is narrowly defined and puts specific constraints on the neutral party in return for the internationally recognized right to remain neutral. A wider concept is that of non-belligerence. The basic treaty covering Neutral states is Convention V of The Hague Respecting the Rights and Duties of Neutral Powers and Persons in Case of War on Land (1907). It is important to note that a neutral country takes no side in a war between other parties, and in return hopes to avoid being attacked by either of them. A neutralist policy aims at neutrality in case of an armed conflict that could involve the party in question. A neutralist is an advocate of neutrality in international affairs. The concept of neutrality in conflicts is distinct from non-alignment, i.e., the willful desistance from military alliances in order to preserve neutrality in case of war, and perhaps with the hope of preventing a war altogether.
In a study of Spain, Switzerland, and Sweden during the Second World War, Eric Golson found that they engaged in economic realpolitik, as they traded with both the Axis and the Allied Powers.[22]
