Compare with
alliierter vs neutral
neutral
'neutral' and 'alliierter' are clear opposites in disputes, wars, or political conflicts. 'neutral' means that you do not support either side. 'alliierter' means that a state or group is connected with others through an alliance and therefore belongs to one side. Learners may confuse the words because both often appear in political or historical texts. The simple guide is: someone who is neutral stays out of it. Someone who is allied is joined with others in an alliance.
alliierter
Ein alliierter Staat half den anderen Ländern mit Soldaten und Material.
An allied state helped the other countries with soldiers and equipment.
