Portugal
Although Portugal remained officially neutral, and the Salazar Dictatorship admired Fascist regimes, there was the Anglo-Portuguese Alliance — the world's oldest military alliance (1373) — reactivated by the United Kingdom during World War II, leading to the establishment of an Anglo-American base in Lajes, Terceira Island, Azores, which Salazar finally accepted (December 1943) Since 1940, both Churchill and Roosevelt were facing the possibility of a preventive occupation of Azores. Portugal also protested the occupation of Portuguese Timor by Allied forces in 1942 but did not actively resist. The colony was subsequently occupied by Japan. Timorese and Portuguese civilians assisted Australian commandos in resisting the Japanese.
Even ter vertaling:
Portugal had een kolonie namelijk Timor. De Portugezen waren hier tegen, maar zonder zich te verzetten.
Later werd Timor bezet voor de Japanners bezetten later Timor.
