So the neutrals basically agree, tacitly or otherwise that if one of them gets picked off they all go to war. Mountainous terrain, armed citizens, easy to go around on the way to France, no industrial base to speak of, and useful to keep as not an enemy so that you can use their banking system.īut perhaps even given this calculus it might still be too enticing to pick off a small neutral or two. It's easy to see how the Swiss managed this. Neutral parties are just trying to stay out of the war, something they can typically only get away with if their territory or industrial base isn't a significant enough benefit to be worth the opportunity cost of diverting military resources to conquering and holding them.
