An '''alliance''' is a relationship among [[people]], groups, or [[sovereign state|states]] that have joined together for mutual benefit or to achieve some common purpose, whether or not an explicit agreement has been worked out among them.<ref name='Definition of "Alliance"'>{{cite web|title=Define Alliance|url=http://www.dictionary.com/browse/alliance|website=Dictionary.com}}</ref> Members of an alliance are called '''allies'''. Alliances form in many settings, including [[political alliance]]s, [[military alliance]]s, and [[business alliance]]s. When the term is used in the context of [[war]] or armed struggle, such associations may also be called '''allied powers''', especially when discussing [[World War&nbsp;I]] or [[World War&nbsp;II]].

A formal [[military alliance]] is not required for being perceived as an ally—[[co-belligerence]], fighting alongside someone, is enough. According to this usage, allies become so not when concluding an alliance treaty but when struck by war.

When spelled with a capital "A", "Allies" usually denotes the countries who fought together against the [[Central Powers]] in World War&nbsp;I (the [[Allies of World War&nbsp;I]]), or those who fought against the [[Axis powers|Axis Powers]] in World War&nbsp;II (the [[Allies of World War&nbsp;II]]). The term has also been used by the [[United States Army]] to describe the countries that gave assistance to [[South Vietnam]] during the [[Vietnam War]].<ref>{{cite book |last1=Larsen |first1=Stanley |last2=Collins |first2=James |title=Allied Participation in Vietnam |url=http://www.history.army.mil/books/Vietnam/allied/ |access-date=January 15, 2013 |series=Vietnam Studies |year=1975 |publisher=Department of the Army |location=Washington, D.C. |oclc=1119579 |archive-date=January 27, 2013 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130127081834/http://www.history.army.mil/books/Vietnam/allied/ |url-status=dead }}</ref>

The Allied Powers in World War&nbsp;I (also known as the [[Triple Entente|Entente Powers]]) were initially the [[British Empire|United Kingdom]], [[French Third Republic|France]], the [[Russian Empire]], [[Kingdom of Belgium|Belgium]], [[Kingdom of Serbia|Serbia]], [[Kingdom of Montenegro|Montenegro]] and [[Empire of Japan|Japan]], joined later by [[Kingdom of Italy|Italy]], [[First Portuguese Republic|Portugal]], [[Kingdom of Romania|Romania]], the [[United States]], [[Kingdom of Greece (Glücksburg)|Greece]] and [[First Brazilian Republic|Brazil]]. Some, such as the Russian Empire, withdrew from the war before the armistice due to revolution or defeat.

After the end of World War II and during the [[Cold War]], the [[NATO|North Atlantic Treaty Organization]] (NATO) was formed as a political and military alliance that promotes anti-communist values.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.nato.int/nato-welcome/index.html|title=What is NATO?|website=NATO}}</ref>

More recently, the term "Allied forces" has also been used to describe the [[coalition of the Gulf War]], as opposed to forces the [[Multi-National Force – Iraq|Multi-National Forces in Iraq]] which are commonly referred to as "Coalition forces" or, as by the [[George W. Bush]] administration, [[Coalition of the willing|"the coalition of the willing"]].

==International opinion==
[[File:BlankMap-World-large-limited-recognition (1).png|thumb|Map indicating international preferences for principal ally in the case a country were attacked, as of 2017.]]
According to a 2017 poll by [[WIN/GIA]], the United States was the most preferred ally internationally. [[Russia]] and [[China]], who preferred one another, both trailed America globally. Four countries, [[Bulgaria]], [[Greece]], [[Slovenia]] and [[Turkey]], preferred Russia, despite being members of [[NATO]].<ref name="bloomberg"/>

In [[Pakistan]], 72% of respondents preferred ties to China, the largest margin of any country surveyed, while 46% of [[Bangladesh]] preferred [[India]]. A total of 22 countries indicated a preference for the United Kingdom at a rate of 10% or more, but the United States was the only country to prefer Britain over any other, at a rate of 43%. Five countries preferred France at a rate of 10% or more, led by [[Belgium]] at a rate of 25%. A single country, [[Iraq]], expressed no preference, while three other countries, [[Lebanon]], [[State of Palestine|Palestine]], and [[Slovenia]], expressed no preference at a rate of 11% or more, although at a smaller rate than their preference for Russia on the part of Lebanon and Slovenia, and China on the part of Palestine. [[Kosovo]] reported the most unified opinion, preferring the United States at a rate of 92%, while Russia's most unified supporters were [[Mongolia]] (71%), [[Armenia]] (67%) and [[Serbia]] (56%). In total, 21 countries expressed a preference for America at a rate of 50% or more.<ref name="bloomberg"/>
