Alliances made for warlike purposes are divided in general into defensive and offensive ;
in the former the nation only engages to defend her ally in case he be attacked ;

or jointly waging the war against another nation .
Some alliances are both offensive and defensive ;
and there seldom is an offensive alliance which is not also defensive .
