“We’re allies, right?” The countries allies when they’re losing: *Yes but actually no”*

"Due to disagreements of the member states, all two of them" xD

As a Canadian, I was surprised to find that you missed out on NORAD, the North American Aerospace Defense Command treaty between Canada and the US. This agreement dates back to the late 1950s and is still in force.

OAS major points: * *Democracy* * *Free Elections* * Combating Drug Use * *Human Rights* _Takes a look at Banana Republics #'s 1-6_

I would really like a separate episode on the SCO. It seems so contradictory to have China, Russia, Pakistan and India in one alliance.

"Are you friends?" Britain and France: Well yes, but actually no

I'm Swedish, and here in Sweden we basically cooperate with those around us in the nordics and the baltics, that would be: Denmark, Norway, Finland, Iceland, Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania. You could also count the Swedish - British cooperation, the two have been "allies" for some time. Lastly, Sweden and Germany also work together.

"How many alliances do you want?" USA : yes.

USA: “I am a little bit of an alliance myself”

Switzerland have the best allience

Little known: while there is not any official specific treaty, Spain and France have the obligation to defend Andorra from external threats (for obvious reasons), as Switzerland is bound to defend Liechtenstein.

i would want a part 2 for this video, like this is really interesting, alliances and organisations. loved it!!

im surprised the quad wasnt mentioned here, nor the anzac or anzus treaties, but especially the quad which is one of the biggest talking points in indo-pacific relations at the moment

Me: "Mom, can we get NATO?" My Mother: "We have NATO at home." The NATO at home: 5:42

I love how Indonesia get none, they literally just chilling in the middle of SEA minding their own business

0:53 "If you want to show pride in your country..." * Proceeds to show Germany * XD Good one

My girlfriend's family is from Paraguay so she knows a lot about the country. The other day she told me that Paraguay and Taiwan have close relations, in fact Paraguay is one of the few countries that recognize Taiwan.

You missed an importance alliance, NORAD. Their biggest role is to track Santa Claus over Xmas, making sure he doesn't secretly carpet bomb North America, instead of dropping off presents.

Thanks for this video! Excellent explanation and quality!

Excellent realistic valid discussions for know countries ! Regards.

The latest emerging alliance is the QUAD Alliance of US, Japan, India and Australia.

You should do next the Economic Alliance like the EU, AU, Arab League, ASEAN etc.

Me: "Mom, can we get Soviet Union?" My Mother: "We have Soviet Union at home." The Soviet Union at home: Union State

Thanks!

You forgot to mention the Treaty of Algeron, which was a peace treaty signed between the United Federation of Planets and the Romulan Star Empire in 2311, which was not a mutual defence agreement but basically a non aggression treaty and banned the Federation to do research into or use of any cloaking device.

'Nations have no permanent friends or allies, they only have permanent interests.' - Lord Palmerston

Would love a video going into each of the us alliances with individual countries and how they came about

Two significant defence agreements you missed are NORAD (North American Aerospace Defence Command) and the Permanent Joint Board on Defence, both covering joint defence planning and cooperation, with NORAD as well being the active defence body responsible for aerospace defence of Canada and the US.

Tell us more about Asian alliances? You missed out SAARC, ASEAN and Quad.

How does the SCO work as an alliance in India, Pakistan and China have not just active border disputes but also regularly threaten each other?

Have had an itch for geopolitics lately, cheers

You forgot the blood pact. That my friend is as well something very important. Thanks for sharing this info. Cheers from Portugal.

"OAS was formed to protect democracy" US: *ARE YOU SO SURE ABOUT THAT?*

The Anglo-Portuguese alliance is wholesome af

Love this video!!!

This is amazing

0:54 "Before we start though if you want to show pride in your country" _Shows German Flag_ How does he know *SCARY*

big brain france: if we make friends with germany they cant attack us

Thanks :) NEVER GIVE UP

SCO and BRICS are so ironic alliances. I think these alliances are only meant for economic development rather than military alliances.

Perhaps a video on just Britain’s or America’s alliances?

“We have no eternal allies, and we have no perpetual enemies.” Ex-PM Lord Palmerston

Very cool keep it up ∞

Would love to see a more in depth video about the Five Eyes alliance

Please tell us more about the Vatican's alliances, Lichteinstein's alliances, and Monaco's alliances. Enquiring minds want to know.

Still waitin on that TLDR Africa

As a Filipino, I'd like to hear about VFA and EDCA with US and the Philippines Recently, VFA was extended temporarily for another six months, and it's quite important since tensions with China heightened steadily (especially on West Philippine Sea) We are close with China as an economic partner, but we are US' "historical little brother"

7:45 Should use the naval name for the Five Eyes alliance AUSCANNZUKUS, just because.

TELL US MORE ABOUT RUSSIA'S ALLIANCES

Where’s the military alliance between me and my cousin?

Best alliance : United Federation of Planets

Stares at USA & UK* “So you guys are friends right?”* USA & UK: no way I hate that bastard… but if you try to fuck with him so help me God

Wow another video Love your videos guys Keep up the good work

I would be curious to learn more about India's military alliances as they have historically faced a number of regional challenges and may aspire to the role of a regional power broker in the coming decades.

Kenya and Ethiopia Defence Pact 1970. What's different about this treaty to others, is that it's specifically against aggression from 1 single country; Somalia.

Yup, we are all conected to eachother in some way, yet we sill seek for our diferences and arguments to start a war

I would love to see a more in-depth map about Canada’s alliances. Canada has a pretty strong alliance with Mali and it’s one most don’t hear of or expect. I’d love to learn more about other alliances my country has

Im from Namibia, which i think has quite an interesting system of friendships. South Africa: we got independence from them just a generation ago, theyre our besties and we cooperate on vaious factors such as citizenship rights, language, tertiary education, etc, as well as in alliances such as SADC: the international community we most see ourselves as part of, bunch of Southern African countries SACU: the countries most culturally and historically aligned with Namibia, hence more close cooperation in what is the worlds oldest running customs union Germany: we share a close historical and cultural tie with Germany. Interesting love-hate relationship, but its mostly positive with intense development aid and cultural/education exchange between the two Finland: similar to germany, the Finns had a well founded presence in Namibia during the colonial period, with a largely positive impact as finnish missionaries spread education onto the local people China: this is a very controversial one. Statistics apparently say the chinese community in Namibia may now be larger than the German one. Most Namibians are largely anti-China, and this controversy is reflected in politics, as more anti-China parties see massive gains in elections an interesting one ive discovered: St Helena: Namibia is basically one of the "supply points" for St Helena next to South Africa, with large investments into the air travel infrastructure from St Helena to Namibia and the rest of the world!

0:20 mary berry, troye sivan, joe lycett - that list is iconic

6:15 Uruguay also a member of the OAS

Your focus was too much on the West and Former Soviet Union. You were mostly showing grouping of countries. How can anyone miss out ASEAN, SAARC, not to mention the Quad.

more graphics on this topic would be interesting. Maybe assigning a score to each country based on how many and how powerful its alliances are. There's a ton of maps you could do

2:54 Ireland: Bravo-6, going Dark

This is an interesting counterpoint to the relationships between the actual people who make decisions on this scale. If you did global economic alliances you could probably pin a handful of corporations up with more power than most so-called nation states.

6:45 "These caribbean islands..." Me, looks at the list: Ah the great islands of belize, guyana and suriname

GREAT VIDEOS I LOVE YOUR STUFF

And this is just more or less the military alliances, the economic alliances are even more numerous and complex, even to the point where they contradict each other

"Show pride in your Country" ... shows germanys pin ... my only thought as a germn ... "You clearly have now idea how "pride" works around here :D"

two questions, Assumption: Evry country that gets a call to arms will answer it, and prioritise aiding a defending allay 1: What country could you attack without starting WW3 2: What country should you attach to start ww3 by calling the fewest grouts of allay.

From Malaysia and didn't know we have the "Five Powers" Alliance until now.. I know about ASEAN. And maybe one or two incomplete trade pact.

Nice video but i think it could have been displayed better having each alliance shown separately before stacking them on top of each other on the global view

Uploaded this video to my brain for a quiz tomorrow thx

Thank you for excluding Romania, Bulgaria, Ireland and Croatia from EU of the map (3:04) If not more...

I find Indonesia interesting, as it is one of the few countries that don't have military or political alliances. Since 1945 it adopted a neutral non-bloc "make zero enemies" style of foreign policy. Although it is active in ASEAN and other economic partnerships. Some people would think this as naive or idealistic tho.

Even though India doesn't use the term alliance, QUAD is the pact it is more engaged with than china dominated sco. Even BRICS is more relevant than SCO.

I would like to see a UN explanation video, even though it isn't about mutual defense. However, it still is involved in peacekeeping & military operations.

No mention of ASEAN?

Tell me about india's alliance

Hey i am bulgarian and thank you to explain this so gooooood :D

Hello, As a Kenyan, I would love it if you would take a look at the Intergovernmental Authority on Development (IGAD) which has 🐝 functioning as the go to Alliance for peace and security issues in The Eastern Africa region Thanks

Can we get more information on the Quad, please?

Let us hear more about ECOWAS and what it has been good for.

I can't believe you did this

I love that eu and it's concept countries in conflict regions should do it

Loved this video! Learning about the different alliances between countries and the reason they formed is always interesting. UK-PORTUGAL ALLIANCE FOR LIFE!!

Finland and sweden have a pretty strong military bond or alliance. But I'm not sure on the details of it.

I've never heard of the OAS before till now

I believe the BeNeLux, Baltic states, Norway-Denmark-Sweden-Finland, NORAD and NAFTA are 5 note worthy alliances/friendships but other than that this has been a nice TLDR!

I am from India we have signed non alliance treaty but we have some good friends Israel russia USA France and ect basicly we like them because the sell us awesome weapon from s 400 to French Rafael ,Ak to M4 mi 17 to Apache from mi26 to Chinook ,c17 Globemaster to illusion

1:58 I can hear audio cutting off

A general video on ECOWAS would be good, shine a light on the developing world with the potential to gain ground over the next few decades

Someone should make a challenge in Civ where they recreate every real world alliance in the game

I would like to hear a lot more detail about the Quad (US, India, Australia, Japan).

0:32 The audio went weird for a bit. 9:33 The thing about the CSTO. From my understanding, it is broadly like NATO, but lacks the collective security clause.

Please teach me more about all the alliances! How did they start? Have they fought together? Do they help each other in times of emergency (like natural disasters)? 🤔 thank you 😊

Thank you for mentioning Azerbaijan and Turkey as well! Amazing video!

Remember guys countries dont have friends, only interests. Will be great if you do this type of video every 2-3 years or whenever something major happen in the future in terms of politics and military alliances.

India has a military alliance with nepal as well as bhutan. Community of Nepalese people known as gorkhas serve in our army ❤️ and few years back we save bhutan's area known as doklam from china.

Please could you do a video on the combined maritime force alliance?

Korea has a strong friendship with Ethiopia 😊 Ethiopia helped us out during the Korean War, and we have not forgotten.
