Countries form alliances because of different reasons. Some were genuine desire to help other countries; others were made with less straightforward aims. For example, Hitler made alliances in order to make countries feel safe from attack by Germany, while planning to invade them all the while.(friendship treaty with poland in 1934) Other reasons include: 1) Signing alliances with countries promising not to fight with each other 2) Giving each other trade privileges. Various alliances formed between countries are: 1) Nazi-Soviet Pact between Germany and USSR (non-aggression pact and also to set up trade links between both countries that provided Germany with rubber, oil and grain it needed to go to war) 2) Full support in war (Britain, France and Poland in 1939) Other reasons include: 1) signing alliances with countries promising not to fight with each other 2) giving each other trade privileges. Singapore and many other countries formed The United Nation. The United nations will work together to help countries that are in need after natural disasters. One example of a project by the United Nation is they set up a regional coordination centre in Singapore and use the city-state's air and naval bases to carry out relief operations in tsunami-devastated areas of Indonesia. By helping people in need, the United Nation saved many lives. Singapore and many neighbouring countries also formed ASEAN. ASEAN stands for The Association of Southeast Asian Nations. It was formed on 8 August 1967 by Indonesia, Malaysia, the Philippines, Singapore and Thailand. Since then, membership has expanded to include Brunei, Burma (Myanmar), Cambodia, Laos, and Vietnam. Its aims include the acceleration of economic growth, social progress, cultural development among its members, the protection of the peace and stability of the region, and to provide opportunities for member countries to discuss differences peacefully. Countries that form alliances also benefit by being able to develop further. It also form a certain trust bond with their alliance. The people of a country can live in harmony with the neighboring counties' citizens. Posted by ShAnNoN at |
