Auld Alliance

The Auld Alliance was a military and political pact formed in 1295 between Scotland and France. Its main aim was to unite the two nations against their common enemy, England. The alliance provided mutual support in times of war and was a response to England's attempts to dominate Scotland. Over the centuries, the alliance influentially shaped relationships in medieval Europe, with both countries supporting each other in various conflicts. The Auld Alliance is often remembered for its cultural exchanges and shared interests, symbolizing a long-standing friendship that lasted for centuries until falling into decline in the 16th century.
