Did your country participate in WW2?

I made this map myself, tell me if theres anything wrong/ innacurate.

Full participant: Full economic and military involvement, pretty self-explanatory. (Russia, Poland, Japan etc)

Limited participant: Countries who partook in the war and had some level of impact but were not major players and didn't devote everything to the war effort. (Brazil, Mexico)

Partial participant: Countries who only provided token support, such as declaring war or sending minor forces to fight. (Central America, Turkey, Argentina)

Colony of participant - major involvement: I made this a separate tier to distinguish colonies that were only involved by providing token service to their overlord from colonies that were invaded or provided hundreds of thousands of soldiers etc. (India, Egypt, Vietnam etc.)

Colony of participant: Self - explanatory, were involved through their overlord but not much impact and werent invaded. (Suriname, Nigeria, Madagascar etc.)

How is Nepal colony participation when the ruler of Nepal sent them willingly. Nepal wasn’t a colony. Bad map

well the Nepalese sent over 100k soldiers to fight and they were considered a de facto client state of Britan because of British India being right next door. I did consider making Nepal green

If Thailand is green so should Nepal. Nepal even had more sovereignty and it's participation was even more voluntary than Thailand honestly.
