Answer 1

An alliance is an agreement between countries to help each other in conflicts and defend each other.  A. One country attacks another because a promise made to a third country is an example of an alliance.  Two countries made a pact and agree to protect each other.  In this situation, it is likely that the first country made an agreement with the third country and is attacking another country on behalf of the third country.
