So what was up with south america in WW2? I know Mexico and Brazil were the only ones who actually sent soldiers to fight
>Mexican merchant vessel got blown up by the U-Boats and sent their airforce to help out the US in some missions in the Pacific
>Brazil sent soldier in the invasion of Italy

But all the other countries were officially part of the allies, but I thought Argentina and Chile and even Brazil were fascist at the time

Most were just american puppets.
Countries like Chile boomed in the war for the mutch needed metals which their land is rich with.

Here in Brazil it was a Populist Dictatorship with light fascist tendencies. The nearest thing that we had to fascism, Integralism, was used indirectly by Vargas to get into power and once he got it he outlawed the group.

Did you mean Latin America? The meme would be complete if you're an American.

Uruguay stayed neutral for the beginning of the conflict, witnessing the Battle of the River Plate right next to it's capital. Many Anglo-Uruguayan soldiers served in WW2, and soldiers of both sides of the conflict that either came to Uruguay after the war or were already living here before can be found resting at the British Cementery in Montevideo.

Uruguay broke ties with Nazi Germany in early 42 and would later go on to be a founding member of the UN.

More pics of the British Cemetery
These I believe were Graf Spee officers, can't read the tombstones very well now.
