Neutral and Non-Aligned European States
Okay kiddo, so you know how European countries are countries that are all close to each other and have different leaders and cultures, right?
Well, some of those countries like to stay out of it when other countries get into fights or disagreements. They don't take sides, they just want to be friends with everyone.
Those countries are called neutral countries. This means they don't have any alliances (like a big group of friends) with other countries that would force them to help one side or the other in a conflict.
Then there's another type of country, called a non-aligned country. These countries also don't take sides in fights or disagreements, but they don't necessarily want to be friends with everyone either. They just want to do their own thing and not be bothered by anyone else.
So to sum it up, neutral countries don't take sides but still try to be friends with everyone, while non-aligned countries simply want to be left alone and not get involved in any conflicts.
