In the 19th and early 20th century, Non-European countries tended to give more trust to advisors from less-colonial powers, for instance Germany and The United States. Examples I can think of include Morgan Shuster in Persia, and Sino-German Cooperation until 1941. (But both Germany and the United States turned colonial at one point in their history. )

Can official partnership/alliance be formed between one NON-COLONIAL European country and one INDEPENDENT non-European country, in which the former provide investment, military training and expertise, while the later provide market, raw material and commercial grants?

Cases I can think of for the former included Switzerland, Denmark, Sweden, Southern German States, Austro-Hungarian Empire, *independent Hungary, *Scotland, *A more sane Italy.

Cases I can think of for the later included Persia, Siam, *Luckier Vietnam, *China with a more competent dynasty, *surviving Indian states, *Surviving Burma.
