World War II by country

Rare card · No. 50162

Almost every country in the world participated in World War II. Most were neutral at the beginning, but relatively few nations remained neutral to the end. World War II pitted two alliances of nations against each other, the Allies and the Axis powers. Estimates of death toll range from 40 to 90 million people (including all genocide casualties). The main Axis powers were Nazi Germany, the Empire of Japan, and the Kingdom of Italy; while the United Kingdom, the United States, the Soviet Union, and China were the "Big Four" Allied powers. The countries which were either involved in or affected by World War II are listed alphabetically, along with a description of the role which they played in the conflict.
