Brazil and Mexico as belligerents

Regarding the infobox, I have a hard time seeing that the involvement of Mexico and Brazil was strong enough for them to be listed as belligerents in the American Theater. There was the Brazilian Expeditionary Force that fought elsewhere, not the American Theater, and there was the Mexican Expeditionary Air Force, including the 201st Fighter Squadron (Mexico), which fought in the Philippines. The article as it now stands tells the reader absolutely nothing about Brazilian or Mexican military efforts locally, in the American Theater. Instead, both countries suffered shipping losses from enemy submarines.

I would rather remove these two countries from the infobox, but if someone can argue that they had a significant contribution to the American Theater, it would be most appropriate to describe this significance to the reader in the article body before we list a country in the infobox.

Possible error regarding Spain's placement as "Axis"

(Apologies if this is the incorrect place for such a message; am still trying to master Wikipedia's editing system) In the "Axis" column of "Belligerents", the 'Spanish Empire' is listed, under a redlink, and misspelled. I do not see anything in the talk page history about whether or not Spain should be removed (though I don't doubt there's a legitimate reason for it to be there!) Would I be justified in, at the minimum, fixing the link and correcting the typo ("Emprie" to "Empire"?)Kaiser Wilhelm the Tenth (talk) 01:05, 24 November 2021 (UTC)

Missing quotation marks

Two sentences that were directly quoted from the source were missing quotation marks, I added them. These were found incidentally. No exhaustive search was made, there are probably more. Citizen127 (talk) 00:33, 6 June 2022 (UTC)
