These are the several European countries managed to avoid direct military involvement in World War II:
Sweden: Maintained neutrality throughout the war, though it did provide some support to both the Allies and Axis powers, such as allowing German troops to transit through its territory.
Switzerland: Known for its long-standing policy of neutrality, Switzerland did not fight in the war. It was heavily armed and prepared to defend itself if invaded but avoided direct involvement.
Spain: After the Spanish Civil War (1936-1939), Spain, under Francisco Franco, remained officially neutral, though it was sympathetic to the Axis powers. Spain did send a volunteer unit, the Blue Division, to fight alongside the Germans on the Eastern Front against the Soviet Union, but it was not officially involved in the war.
Portugal: Under António de Oliveira Salazar, Portugal remained neutral but maintained friendly relations with both the Axis and Allies. It allowed the Allies to use the Azores as a base, which was strategically important in the Atlantic.
Ireland: Officially neutral during the war, though it did have a more sympathetic stance towards the Allies. Irish citizens did volunteer to fight with the British forces, but the country as a whole did not engage in the conflict.
Vatican City: As an independent city-state, the Vatican maintained strict neutrality during the war. Pope Pius XII, who was in power during the war, made efforts to mediate peace but refrained from taking sides.
These countries managed to avoid direct military involvement in World War II, although their neutrality was often challenged and tested by the pressures of the conflict.
