Switzerland could possibly be called the smartest country in the world, why? Because they know better than to get involved in the wars of other countries. Throughout both of the World Wars, Switzerland did not form any alliances with anyone involved in the war. Because of that they weren't dragged into a war that meant nothing to them. They maintained a status of armed neutrality through out the wars. They were always ready to defend themselves if they were attacked. But had no intentions of joining the fight. Switzerland was also a sought after location for immigrants trying to escape the war. However due to being neutral and choosing not to take sides, Switzerland was forced to send these people away. By the end of World War II Switzerland had not lost any men from fighting in the war and they lost only 100 from crimes against humanity.
