- bad_user 10y agoIn case of a World War, military alliances are going to happen whether you want it or not, with the difference that weaker countries will be up for grabs, like Czechoslovakia in WWII. And even Poland actually, UK declaring war after Poland's invasion being sort of a surprise for Hitler.
- dajohnson89 10y agoYou might be begging the question though. I'm saying that a priori alliances are the cause. You're saying they are the effect.
