Treaty of Mutual Defense

A Treaty of Mutual Defense is an agreement between countries to support each other if one is attacked or threatened. It means that if one nation faces aggression, the others commit to helping defend it, often through military assistance or other support. Such treaties are designed to promote security and stability among the signatories by ensuring they work together to deter adversaries and respond collectively to threats. These agreements strengthen alliances and create a shared commitment to protect each member's sovereignty and safety.
