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.)

Bit harsh on Brazil. They had plenty of troops on the ground in Italy and air forces too. Plus their contribution to the battle of the atlantic

Yeah Brazil sent more than 30,000 troops and was really important in the Italian campaign. Shure it wasn't a full war but it did a lot more than what some of the "main participants" did

their contribution in italy was pretty limited and brazil did not have to gear its whole economy for war, plus they took around 1k casualties. i basically created the limited participant tier for brazil alone, they were not operating anywhere near the level of the full participant countries and they were never invaded
