In much the same way that the US has changed name (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_Colonies) and size, split (civil war) I’d imagine you still consider it a single country. It also happend rather a lot in Europe.
Rather than explain, perhaps you can read the links.
Except Switzerland, Spain, Ireland, etc.
I’m guessing you’re American, but there’s a whole lot of history beyond the last 250 years.
Switzerland was with France vs United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland

Spanish vs United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland

I’m guessing you didn’t read the statement I responded to, but wanted Tobe snooty.
Ireland didn’t fight Germany, France. Yes, they had troubles with Briton, but that’s not “any other one”.
Glad I could help.
Lol, Ireland was part of the United Kingdom, I added some extra links for you.
You’re welcome.

The Republic of Ireland was never part of the UK. It never participated in world War, never sent troops, etc.
The Republic of Ireland didn’t exist until after the end of WWI https://en.m.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Republic_of_Ireland
You are right about WW2 neutrality https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Irish_neutrality_during_World_War_II although that was the official govt stance, it seems Irish men fought in the British army.
So, besides being snotty, you proved my point. Now I shouldn’t have to explain why the Swiss never had a war with anybody, right?
Oh, BTW, neutral country citizens fight in every war. It doesn’t mean their government does.

I should add, Ireland by virtue of being part of Great Britain and Ireland, was at war with Germany. https://www.iwm.org.uk/history/irelands-role-in-the-first-world-war

I lived in Ireland for a while. Saying that would get your ass kicked, after a history lesson, of course.
