wartime allies
Nations fighting together
Wartime allies are nations or groups that fight together against a common enemy during a war.
The term typically refers to major military partnerships—most notably the Allied Powers of World War II (Britain, the United States, the Soviet Union, and others) who united against the Axis powers.
Wartime alliances often dissolve or transform once hostilities end: The wartime allies soon became Cold War adversaries.
