In much the same way that the US has changed name (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_Colonies) and size, split (civil war) I’d imagine you still consider it a single country. It also happend rather a lot in Europe.

You are right about WW2 neutrality https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Irish_neutrality_during_World_War_II although that was the official govt stance, it seems Irish men fought in the British army.
So, besides being snotty, you proved my point. Now I shouldn’t have to explain why the Swiss never had a war with anybody, right?
Oh, BTW, neutral country citizens fight in every war. It doesn’t mean their government does.

I should add, Ireland by virtue of being part of Great Britain and Ireland, was at war with Germany. https://www.iwm.org.uk/history/irelands-role-in-the-first-world-war

I lived in Ireland for a while. Saying that would get your ass kicked, after a history lesson, of course.
Lol, perhaps, but it doesn’t make your point right and it really doesn’t change history.
