用户:AINH/中立国 (第二次世界大战)
中立国是指在第二次世界大战期间保持中立的国家，这其中不乏在海外拥有大量殖民地或拥有强大的经济实力的国家。
一般来说，中立国在第二次世界大战期间没有正式表明立场，以其希望避免受到攻击。 然而，葡萄牙、瑞典和瑞士都透过向英国提供“志愿旅”来帮助同盟国。而西班牙则疏远同盟国并支持轴心国，且向他们提供自己的志愿旅蓝色师。值得注意的是西班牙在德国入侵波兰前五个月的1939年4月1日才刚结束内战。这场内战有多个外国介入，当中不少随后又参与了第二次世界大战。西班牙内战也被认为是第二次世界大战的前奏。
包括美国在内的大多数美洲国家于开战之初一直保持中立。直到1941年12月8日，即日本袭击珍珠港的第二天，美国正式加入同盟国参战，多国随即跟随参战。
1929年意大利与梵蒂冈签署的《拉特朗条约》要求教宗保持“在国际关系中永久中立”，使梵蒂冈成为一个中立国家。
一些国家尽管努力保持中立，但仍遭受入侵。其中包括纳粹德国于1940年4月9日入侵丹麦和挪威，英军随后于4月12日出兵占领丹麦的领土法罗群岛，以阻止法罗群岛落入德国人手中。同年5月10日，德国入侵比利时、荷兰和卢森堡。同日，英国入侵丹麦的附属国冰岛并建立了一支占领军，随后被当时中立的美国接管。苏联于1940年6月入侵波罗的海三国。在巴尔干半岛，意希战争于1940年10月28日爆发，南斯拉夫于1941年4月遭到入侵。伊朗也于1941年8月遭到英国和苏联的攻击和占领。
大陆[编辑]
欧洲[编辑]
波罗的海三国[编辑]
爱沙尼亚、
立陶宛、
拉脱维亚 – 波罗的海三国于1938年11月18日在里加举行的波罗的海外交部长会议上联合宣布中立，同年晚些时候，各自的议会通过了中立法。尽管如此，三国都先后被苏联占领了两次及被纳粹德国占领一次。
冰岛[编辑]
冰岛 – 1940年5月起被盟军占领。
爱尔兰[编辑]
爱尔兰 – 在二战期间欧洲开始爆发战争后，爱尔兰议会在总理埃蒙·德·瓦莱拉主导下采取中立政策[1]。 尽管受到德国多次空袭以及同盟国和轴心国 均对爱尔兰运输船队进行了多次袭击，但在整场战争期间爱尔兰一直能够维持中立，而未曾加入同盟国或轴心国。值得注意的是英国曾经提议让北爱尔兰加入爱尔兰，以换取爱尔兰加入同盟国。唯英国政府在提出这一建议前根本未曾知会北爱政府，且德·瓦莱拉亦未能确保最后爱尔兰真的得以统一等现实因素而最后拒绝这提议[2][3]。
葡萄牙[编辑]
葡萄牙在第二次世界大战期间保持中立。葡萄牙在开战之初就指出过去近600年所建立的英葡联盟仍然有效，然而由于英国并未寻求葡萄牙的军事援助，葡萄牙仍能够保持中立。当中很大的原因是因为英国希望借着葡萄牙保持中立以抑制西班牙也保持中立，而非加入轴心国[4]。葡萄牙在临近二战尾声的1944年11月28日与美国签署军事协议，允许美国使用亚速尔群岛的秘密军事基地。这违反了葡萄牙的中立性，使葡萄牙成为同盟国中的非交战国[5]。

西班牙[编辑]
佛朗哥政权–西班牙最初保持中立，但当意大利于1940年6月参战时，弗朗西斯科·弗朗哥将西班牙的地位改为非交战国并占领丹吉尔。自1940年6月起佛朗哥政权强烈倾向干涉主义。时任外交部长拉蒙·塞拉诺·苏涅尔是一位著名的法西斯主义者及亲德派，在政府中极具影响力。[6]然而，即使在与德国官员进行了几次会面之后，包括1940年10月23日佛朗哥和希特勒之间的昂代会面，西班牙也没有正式加入战争。西班牙不愿参加战争的大部分原因是西班牙依赖来自美国的进口，且西班牙仍未从内战中恢复过来，加上佛朗哥知道他的武装部队将难以抵御英国进攻加那利群岛和西属摩洛哥。[7]
随着巴巴罗萨行动将主要战区从地中海转移至东方，西班牙不再感兴趣插手干预。然而影响力下降的苏涅尔仍然能够创建由西班牙志愿者组成的蓝色师为轴心国而战[8]，惟该师只能与苏联军队作战。随着战争风向明显转向有利于同盟国，佛朗哥于1943年10月将西班牙的地位恢复为严守中立[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.
微型国家[编辑]
安道尔[编辑]

列支敦士登[编辑]
列支敦士登–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，列支敦士登在战争期间尽可能紧密地与瑞士联系在一起，以希望保持该国的中立性[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绝苏联要求遣返俄罗斯人的国家，并告知苏联政府只有那些想回家的俄罗斯人才会被遣返[14]。

Iran[编辑]
Iran was neutral but was occupied by the Allies (see Anglo-Soviet invasion of Iran).
Saudi Arabia[编辑]
沙特阿拉伯 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.
也门[编辑]

美洲[编辑]
珍珠港事件前整个美洲基本上除加拿大以外并无国家加入任一阵营。珍珠港事件后多个美洲国家随即跟随美国向轴心国宣战，包括哥斯达黎加、多米尼加、萨尔瓦多、危地马拉、海地、洪都拉斯、尼加拉瓜、巴拿马等。墨西哥和巴西分别在1942年向轴心国宣战，智利、玻利维亚及哥伦比亚分别在1943年宣战。
美国[编辑]
美国 – 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]
