Definition
同盟 (tóng méng) is both a verb ('to form an alliance') and a noun ('an alliance'), emphasizing a formal, often long-term pact between parties. It is more specific than 联合 (lián hé 'to unite/combine'), which is broader and can be temporary or informal. As a noun, 同盟 is interchangeable with 联盟 (lián méng), but 联盟 is more common for organizations or coalitions.
