One of the greatest military tactical strategy that the Allied Powers of USA, Great Britain, and Russia have done in the second world war was that they decided to infiltrate Germany and Italy first, and it would be followed by Japan's defeat in the Pacific. It was mainly because they thought at that time that "Adolf Hitler is more dangerous than the emperor of Japan."
An example for a current event from Israel is the election for the Knesset (the parliament, which also has the power to elect the President and the Prime Minister).
The election took place on 17th March but the forming of the govermnent happened only in May, when Prime Minister Netanyahu built a coalition on the 6th of May.
