It is important to note that the answer to this question depends on which war is being referred to. However, for the sake of providing a general answer, let us assume it is referring to the World War II.

As the World War II continued, many countries joined or switched sides based on various political and strategic considerations.

Axis Powers: The main countries that formed the Axis powers were Germany, Japan, and Italy. Other countries such as Hungary, Romania, and Bulgaria also joined the alliance.

Allied Powers: The Allied powers comprised of countries such as the United States, United Kingdom, Soviet Union, and China. Over time, other countries such as France, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, and India joined the alliance.

Many neutral countries also joined the Allied powers as the war continued, including Brazil, Mexico, and Saudi Arabia. On the other hand, some neutral countries were forced to leave as they faced invasion, such as Denmark and Norway.

In terms of individuals, many soldiers and civilians left or joined the war effort depending on the prevailing circumstances. Many soldiers were forced to fight by their respective governments or faced conscription due to the scarcity of personnel. Others volunteered to join their country’s military or resistance movements.

Civilians, too, played a role in the war effort, either by joining the workforce to produce weapons and supplies or by participating in propaganda efforts to support their respective countries. Many also left their homes to escape conflict zones or persecution.
