rdfs:comment
  • The Alliance of Independent Leftist Republics is a military alliance centered on the Mediterranean Sea. The Alliance came into being on 11th June 1949, when it was signed into existence by the leaders of the People's Republic of France, Yugoslavia and Greece. Like its main European competitor, NATO, the organisation began as a political alliance, since all three initial signatories were Communist states with mixed allegiances to both east and west. However, in the 1950s postwar recovery allowed the nations to develop their militaries. The organisation found itself facing several major challenges in 1956 but ultimately emerged with a larger, safer Southern France, and two new members: Egypt and Hungary.
