Defense Alliances

Defense alliances are agreements between countries to support each other in times of military conflict or threat. They establish a collective security system, meaning an attack on one member is considered an attack on all, encouraging cooperation and deterrence against potential aggressors. Examples include NATO, where member nations pledge to protect each other, enhancing regional stability and reducing the risk of conflict. These alliances often involve sharing military resources, intelligence, and strategic planning to ensure mutual safety and security among member states.
