World War II is arguably one of the most legendary events in world history, a war that directly changed the world landscape and whose outcome has affected it to this day. Now when we talk about World War II, we mention countries like the United States that have a very strong sense of existence in the war, but there are also some countries, their strength is also very strong, they have a decisive role in the war, but they are relatively low-key, the sense of existence is not strong, few people understand their history, next, Xiaobian will introduce three low-key countries in World War II.
One of them is Czechoslovakia, a country with a long industrial history, rich in natural resources and a large mobilization force. It may seem to us that it is in a dangerous situation, but it is not. Even Hitler was very worried that Czechoslovakia would pose a threat to him. The reason why Czechoslovakia later became unknown in World War II was because Britain and France used it as cannon fodder. After the end of World War II, it was said that if Britain and France could cooperate with Czechoslovakia in time to resist, Germany's strategic plan would not have been so smooth and might even be broken.
The second is Spain, which has historically fought a civil war when Hitler helped Francisco Franco overthrow the Spanish Democratic Republic and establish a fascist regime. But after the start of World War II, Spain did not fall to Germany. But after all, Germany had helped him, so it was not good not to make a single statement, so at the end of June 1941, in the Battle of Leningrad, Spain decided to support Germany, and the Spanish government formed a "volunteer" army of 18,000 people, which although small in number, showed impressive combat effectiveness, and Germany was grateful for this. Later, it was said that if Spain had entered the war as a whole, then World War II would have been fought harder.
The third is Canada, during World War II, Canada has a very strong military combat capability, and its military production capacity is also in the forefront of the world. It is understood that at that time, Canada's mobilization army was very large, with more than 1 million people, including more than 200,000 in the Air Force. In the process of fighting alongside the Allies, Canada showed a very high combat effectiveness, but also sent a lot of resources to the Allies, so the Allied victory can not be separated from Canada's help, but in today's widely spread World War II propaganda, Canada is often ignored.
