After the outbreak of World War II, there were 61 countries involved, and the number of people was as high as more than 2 billion, and this war changed all countries and affected all countries.
However, one country did not participate in the war, not only alone but also made a windfall from this world war, which promoted the country's economic development.
So why didn't the country go to war during World War II, and what was it busy with?
Next let's look for the answer from the article.
After the end of the First World War, Germany, as a defeated country, signed the Treaty of Versailles under the control of Britain, France and the United States, and Germany lost ten percent of its population and one-eighth of its land, although this was the price after its defeat, Germany did not want to accept it, but they could not do anything.
It was not until Hitler came to power that, under his impetus, Germany violated the agreements it had signed and developed its military in an all-round way, while Germany developed its military, Italy and Japan also developed rapidly, and the three countries united to redivide the world.
In 1929, a world economic crisis broke out, which completely stimulated the internal contradictions of Germany, Italy and Japan, and they launched wars of aggression in various parts of the world, especially in Asia and Europe.
Hitler
On September 1, 1939, after Germany launched an offensive against Poland, Britain and France jointly declared war on Germany, and the world war broke out in full swing.
Since then, other countries have successively participated in the war, eventually as many as 61 countries, but from the outbreak to the end of World War II, there is one world-class power that has never participated in the war, that is, Spain.
So why didn't the Spanish state go to war? What was he busy with at the time?
In fact, Spain did not enter the war at that time because the economic and political situation in the country did not allow it, and Spain had not recovered since the world economic crisis.
Coupled with the fact that Spain has just experienced a revolutionary movement, the country is in civil strife, sixty percent of the houses have been destroyed, and the railway is no longer complete, it can be said that most of the infrastructure in Spain has been damaged.
Moreover, the land policy implemented in Spain at that time caused problems in their agriculture, and the domestic food supply caused great problems, and the whole of Spain could not supply the needs of the battlefield.
If Spain joined the Second World War in this case, I am afraid that in the end there would be no roots left, so they did not participate, but Spain has a lot of mineral resources, so many countries want to win over Spain.
Before World War II, Germany had wanted Spain to be in their camp, so during the Spanish Civil War, it also supported the strength of a division.
However, after the outbreak of World War II, no matter how Much Germany tried to win them over, Spain politely refused, but at that time, franco, the ruler of Spain, still looked at the face of Germany's help before and sent a volunteer army to help Germany.
Spain's cleverness lies in the fact that giving Germany an army and giving the Allies an army belongs to a state of no offense on either side.
Later, the United States was worried that Spain would send troops again, so it approached Franco to negotiate and asked him to withdraw his troops, so that after the war, it was guaranteed that the Spanish state power would not be affected.
After learning of this condition, Spain quickly withdrew its troops, and in the face of such an ending, Hitler was very annoyed, but he did not dare to tear his face with Spain.
Although Spain did not participate in the war, he made a lot of war money, he sold the fire to the two warring sides, neither of whom could be guilty, thus earning a lot of money to build his own country.
After the war, all the countries were damaged, but Spain's economy developed rapidly and became the biggest beneficiary of World War II.
