"What is a coalition, and why is it being created?" - a logical question may arise when studying the past of our planet. This definition has several shades depending on the specific scope of its application, but most often it is used in the military and political sense.
Political coalition
Let's try to understand the meaning of this concept more carefully. So, first of all, this is a voluntary association of a group of subjects of different influence to achieve joint interests. As a rule, it is temporary and breaks up after reaching the final result - this is what a coalition is. In political struggle, this can be an electoral bloc created to win elections, if a proportional electoral system operates in the country. Such a formation can continue to exist even after summing up the results already as an inter-party faction in the country's representative body of power. In parliamentary republics and monarchies, the process of creating a coalition of the ruling party is a fairly commonplace phenomenon. Practice shows that such an alignment of the political system can most effectively solve many problems. In addition, in this case, the voter who voted for a particular party will always be represented through deputies in the supreme legislative body of the state. And the government coalition will allow even the victorious party to reckon with the interests of the minority - this is how the principle of democracy is fully implemented.
Military coalition
The creation of military coalitions is a rather controversial process, because it includes very different socio-political groups, sometimes with diametrical interests, which must be resolved in a limited period of time. Evidently enough evidence of this is the coalition of Russia, France and Great Britain in the First World War. Autocratic Russia, republican France and democratic England - to many in Europe this alliance seemed impossible, but the coincidence of the global interests of these countries and the neglect of momentary differences led to the advent of the Entente. Only the instability of the internal situation in Russia did not allow her to share the successes of this bloc. History is replete with the facts of the conclusion of temporary alliances in order to provide effective resistance to any emergency military force. Such is the chronicle of the conclusion of the anti-French coalitions, which were created seven times, at different periods different states were involved in them, only our country was an unchanging participant in all seven associations. European countries could not stand alone against Napoleonic France, many of them became dependent on it, and the coalition was the only way to maintain sovereignty.
Is history repeating itself ?!
The ability to resolve one’s interests is what a coalition is. The most brutal and destructive war in the history of mankind is World War II. The reasons for the creation of the anti-Hitler coalition lay in the policies pursued by Germany. At that moment, the world was on the edge of the Nazi bacchanalia unleashed by this country. In general, she was the culprit of the first global conflict, and, wishing to take revenge for the defeat, unleashed a new military clash. History repeats itself. Just as they did not believe in the possibility of the Entente, so this time Hitler only hypothetically allowed the unification of "Bolshevik Russia" and the capitalist West. And he was practically right. The countries of Western Europe made concessions to Germany for a long time, the culmination of compromise was the Munich agreement. However, when the German Fuhrer violated all agreements and attacked Poland, France and England realized the ephemeral stability in Europe. But for the anti-fascist bloc to really begin its actions, the invasion of German troops in the USSR was required.
