What are some of the biggest examples of treachery in the middle of a military battle?...like your army is teamed up with another army to go fight the enemy only to have your so called ally change sides and team up with the enemy against your army. Or how about this one...your army is going forward in dangerous enemy territory to go put down a rebellion. Some local guides who you thought to be friendlies ask to leave to go raise more troops for you. They go raise troops, except when they come back...you find that a) they led you into a trap...and the reinforcements they brought are not to help but to finish you off.

good job paradid. There are many others ...some of them in pitch battle. Some of them were gross massacres because of it.

good job so far all of you. But there are many more still. How about in antiquity? The Greeks, the romans...etc....

ww2. hitler and stalin signed a pact BUT hitler did it only to prevent a two front war as germany faced in ww1. he planned to march through france and give a buffer zone and then turn on stalin half way throught he war, thus haveing most of the world under his control. hitler attact russia and was stopped cold by the russian winters and lost so many troops (mostly becuase his ego was so big and he was going crazy at this point) because he kept saying they could beat them. this winter gave allies much needed time to move into nazi europe and, well history speaks for it self.

Finland, Romania, Italy all changed sides from axis to allied during WW2. As stated above Germany attacked the Soviet Union after a few years even though they collaborated in the invasion of Poland.
