Allies were made during World War I. America, Britain, France and Russia banded together against the Axis which was led by Germany and included Austria-Hungary, Bulgaria, etc. The war was said to have started with the killing of Franz Ferdinand and wife.

The British was able to win the Seven Years wars through;
• Proper leadership through William Pitt who invested heavily in the war by increasing his control on North America. Louis XV of France was more occupied with his wife and court proceedings that diverted his attention on the colonies.
• Application of a different global strategy-William Pitt invested more money and resources in the conflict in the colonies.
• There was collaboration with authorities-Local authorities were granted control over supplies and recruitment of soldiers.
• British were having a better navy and controlled most of the harbors.
• The British had large numbers of soldiers and better resources.
Explanation:
Congress of Vienna
As the four major European powers (Britain, Prussia, Russia, and Austria) opposing the French Empire in the Napoleonic Wars saw Napoleon’s power collapsing in 1814, they started planning for the postwar world. The Treaty of Chaumont of March 1814 reaffirmed decisions that would be ratified by the more important Congress of Vienna of 1814–15. The Congress of Vienna was the first of a series of international meetings that came to be known as the Concert of Europe, an attempt to forge a peaceful balance of power in Europe. It served as a model for later organizations such as the League of Nations in 1919 and the United Nations in 1945. They included the establishment of a confederated Germany, the division of French protectorates and annexations into independent states, the restoration of the Bourbon kings of Spain, the enlargement of the Netherlands to include what in 1830 became modern Belgium, and the continuation of British subsidies to its allies. The Treaty of Chaumont united the powers to defeat
Conservative Order
The Conservative Order is a term applied to European political history after the defeat of Napoleon in 1815. From 1815 to 1830 a conscious program by conservative statesmen, including Metternich and Castlereagh, was put in place to contain revolution and revolutionary forces by restoring old orders, particularly previous ruling aristocracies.
Britain, Prussia, Russia, and Austria renewed their commitment to prevent any restoration of Bonapartist power and agreed to meet regularly in conferences to discuss their common interests. This period contains the time of the Holy Alliance, a military agreement. The Concert of Europe was the political framework that grew out of the Quadruple Alliance in November 1815.
Diplomatic Consequences of the Congress of Vienna
Despite the efforts of the Great Powers of Europe to prevent conflict and war with the Congress of Vienna, in many ways the Congress system failed by 1823. The rest of the 19th century was marked by more revolutionary fervor, more war, and the rise of nationalism.
