Imagine you're playing a game with your friends. You and one friend are on the same team, but then another friend betrays you to join the other side because they think it will help them win. That's kind of what happens when countries switch sides in wars, they change teams if it helps them more. Sometimes, alliances can be shaky, and a country might think switching sides gives them a better chance at victory.
Examples
- A country joins the enemy because their original ally is losing
- One friend betrays another in a game just to win
- A team switches sides during a match if they think it helps them more
