Lots of people refused to aid or tried to harm the Loyalist cause 
during the Spanish Civil War (including, IMO, the Soviet Union--much 
more interested in smashing Trotskyism than in defeating Franco). 
IIRC, only four governments--Switzerland, Sweden, Franco's Spain, and 
Peron's Argentina--had failed to join the United Nations by the end 
of the war against Hitler.
