"War of the First Coalition" - could this be relevant to the history section of the coalition page?

Met with Colette & Janet in the library 4/21/17 (tips: work on fixing the citations and add to the history it's ok to use politics, gov etc. as long as citation is correct and good to look up similar words to find info/add to the see also.

Added list of countries with coalition governments to the see also

fixed a few grammatical errors

added citation #2

Add Act Now to Stop War and End Racism (ANSWER) to Civil society?

Added Alliance to the See Also

Made a few suggestions on the talk page

Met with Colette again (4/25) After taking her advice and going through sentence by sentence i found that almost all the information in the Coalition in Social Science section was plagiarized from HABITAT INTERNATIONAL COALITION Housing and Land Rights Network  She suggested not to remove everything but to add more information so that the information would not all be coming from that singular source. I have checked out The Evolution of Cooperation - Axelrod form Gleeson and have found a few more digital books that will hopefully bring the section together.

Made the edits that we suggested in the talk page.

Added electoral alliance to the see also

Added political alliance to the see also

Added citation #12 and #18 to the page under Politics and Government (may be different #s when we are finished with the project.)

Added : By contrast to alliances, coalitions are what might be termed ‘partnerships of unequals’ since comparative political, economic, and military might, or more particularly the extent to which a nation is prepared to commit, dictates who will lead, who is in the inner circle, and who will have influence. Coalitions generally occur as unplanned reply to situations of danger, uncertainty, or supernatural events they are also nonpermanent integrations directed at interim objectives. In terms of participation coalitions are, by their nature, more of a ‘come as you are, wear what you want, leave when you want party’. (under Formation)

Added: Coalition government stands as an alternative model to majoritarian governance, the latter being characterized by winner-take-all “first-past-the-post” electoral systems that favor clear distinctions between winners and losers. Not only can coalitions of legislative groups form governments in parliamentary systems but they can form in divisions of power as well. The most usual analyses of coalitions in politics deal with the formation of multiparty cabinets in parliamentary regimes. In Germany all administration has been multiparty coalitions since the conclusion of the Second World War, an example of a coalition government creation in a parliamentary government. When different winning coalitions can be formed in a parliament, the party composition of the government may depend on the bargaining power of each party and the presence, or not, of a dominant party.

The Cambridge Dictionary defines coalition as, "the joining together of different political parties or groups for a particular purpose, usually for a limited time, or a government that is formed in this way".(under government and politics)

Edited a sentences and added: Military coalitions can be built and united under a singular power by multiple states and governments. They are fluid in terms of membership—not only do you not have to have been a traditional ally to join a coalition, but nations can join, vary their contributions and caveats, withdraw, and be replaced by new members as the situation changes or national agendas change. The expansion of assets accessible to member nations to preform military operations is a crucial attribute of coalitions. In many ways, coalition warfare serves to make the crafting of a peace more difficult than the winning of the war itself. An example of such coalition happened during the Versailles Peace Conference in 1919 when the United States and the Allied powers attempted to reach a peace agreement.

Examples of military coalitions include the Coalition of the Gulf War, George H.W. Bush ended Saddam Hussein's aggression in the Middle East by enlisting and leading a military coalition in the 1991 Gulf War's Operation Desert Storm as well as his son George W. Bush's efforts in the "Coalition of the Willing", a phrase employed during the 2003 campaign for the war in Iraq led by the United States and its allies. A contemporary example is the United Nations coalition that intervened in the 2011 Libyan Civil War against Muammar Gaddafi. For coalitions to be effective in principle, let alone in action, participating nations have tended to require a single overpowering threat—perhaps to freedom or a way of life or a crucial national interest—or the presence of a single despotic figure or regime whose continued existence is considered not only abhorrent to the generality of nations but also destabilizing to the region or world order.
