Yes, the Korean conflict and Vietnam war were basically proxy wars against Red China and the USSR. Many people do not realize that. Another little known fact was that Finland was allied with the Germans in WWII, mainly due to a deep hatred for the Soviets, held over from the Russo-Finnish war, and land disputes with the Soviets. The Finns, however, did eventually switch sides and fight on the Allied side. Sweden and Spain, though officially neutral, were both nominally Axis, as well as much of the Middle East, with the exception of Iran, who was believe it or not an American ally until the 1960's. And don't forget our good friends in Bulgaria, the only minor power to fight on the losing side both times.
