Role of Alliances (Then & Now)
When people are unsure of expectations, have questions, or just need someone to be there for them; people will make intellectual and physical agreements with one another. These agreements (pacts, deals, etc) help strengthen our own self-esteem and have the potential to promote an overall well being. We as people feel much better when we know that we have the help and support of someone who cares about us as well as themselves.
This same feeling was demonstrated by the leaders of various European countries during the turn of the 20th century. These leaders were confident in their own potential and abilities, but thought that it was necessary to make alliances, or agreements, with other nations in order to protect the borders, culture, and values of their own nation against potential foreign invaders.
