Sign in to saveAlso known as country neutrality, neutrality, neutral power, politically neutral country
sovereign state which officially declares itself to be neutral towards the belligerents in a war
A neutral country is a nation that officially declares it will not take sides in a war between other countries. This matters because neutral status can help a country avoid military conflict, protect its citizens and economy, and potentially allow it to serve as a mediator between warring parties.
