Many nations played a role as belligerents on the Allied side in World War II. Many were in the thick of combat and made grave national sacrifices, yet general histories mention them only briefly or omit their story entirely. This presents information about land and sea troops from such countries as Fiji, Trans-Jordan, Luxembourg, Brazil, Iran, Nigeria, as well as Maori, Assyrians, Gurkhas, Free Poles, and others.
