Line 120:
* Italy in both World Wars. In [[World War I]], Italy was supposed to immediately enter the war on the side of Germany and Austria-Hungary, but refused due a loophole and stayed neutral for about a year before entering the war AGAINST them. In [[World War II]] it happened TWICE: first Italy was supposed to join Germany as soon as France and Britain declared war, but stayed neutral until the war appeared to be already won and attacked France and a small British colony just for the show, only to find out that the British Empire wouldn't surrender; in 1943 an invaded Italy sued for peace and became neutral again until the German reinforcements sent to help the defense were ordered to become an occupation force.
* To protest against [[Corrupt Corporate Executive|SOPA and Protect IP]], [[The Other Wiki|Wikipedia]] blacked out their website on January 18, 2012. Wikipedia is notable for claiming to be [[True Neutral]] as much as possible, making this a ''huge'' change in their policy.
* [[Switzerland]] is a country who, since 1515, always cherished its neutrality (it is ''their'' "Hat"), never taking sides in any international conflict or dispute. In 2022, however, it broke this tradition, siding with the United Nations in their decision to impose sanctions on Russia after the invasion of the Ukraine.
