It depends entirely upon how you define the concept of the Second World War as well as how you define participation. For example we can look at Finland. When the Nazis and the Soviet Union co-operatively invaded and divided up Poland, the Red Army also marched against the Baltic states of Estonia, Lithuania, Latavia, and Finland, all of which had been spun out of the Russian/Soviet state around the time of the Revolution. The former three were conquered and annexed into the USSR but the Finns put up a much harder fight and won. Embarassed by the situtation the Soviets decided not to pursue the matter much further, but a clear state of belligerance did exist between the two states to the point that the Finns signed an entent of sorts with the Nazis after they invaded the USSR in 1941. They didn't actively invade the USSR or help the Nazis, but they didn't interfere with their agents or trade either while all the time if they could take a shot at a Soviet, they did. So what you need to ask is whether the so called "Winter War" was part of WWII or not and if the aftermath counts as participation in such.

Now if you take the lenient path and define participation as having any citizens bearing arms and engaged in conflict at this time, well there are very few countries that weren't involved, most of which would be found in Latin America. Even there however there was small efforts being made there in the fight (For example Peru and Chile both had small units involved in the Pacific theatre on the side of the Allies. It was more just a show of support however than a real military commitment) In fact it was only in Europe that you had the clearest example of non-participation in the Swiss who maintained their neutrality throughout the war. Spain, Portugal, and Sweden all tried to stay out, but they were all Facist collaborators who walked a delicate political balancing act.


How I didn't cause much more confusion on the matter.
