When I think ancient history I think war, but I'm sure there

loads of greek stuff, for sure.

Let us be honest as well, outside of greek culture you were either an empire or barbarian tribe, which can be measured by centralization.

Only in the Greeks did we see the relatively modern concepts of compromise, leagues, rules of engagement, etc.

The egyptians sometimes teamed up with the hittes and babylonians to fight the assyrians.

Gauls dude, and Germani, they had rules of engagement, demands of honor. The Gauls were particularly less underhanded than the eternal Kraut.
Favoring individual combat over all else. They were also the only people to engage in contractual agreements on the basis of honor alone.

The Hittites and Egypt became allies shortly after signing a treaty c. 1250 BC.

Urnfield Gauls have you beat by 50 years.

iirc honor contracts were from salic law, not the gauls.

Have you heard of the battle at Tollense River? It was a bronze age battle in northern germany with around 4000 warriors. You can't have that large of a battle without alliances.

The oldest recorded allies were a confederacy of cities that fought against Nimrod and his cities.

It was 5 kings vs 5 kings or something.
It was fought on the plains of Shinar.

It's the same war where Abraham had to save Lot and his possessions.

Israel and Ethiopia in the aold testament come to mind.

The Hitites and Egyptians became bros after Khadesh, but that's mainly because the Assyrians were chimping out on the border.

Egypt and Mitanni. Mitanni wasn´t a vassal but a buffer state against Babylon and the hitites, but the egyptians made them feel good about it and let the pharaos marry mitanni princesses
