* During the 2022 Ontario labor dispute between the Ford Government and the Canadian Union of Public Employees([=CUPE=]) over working conditions and pay raises for education workers, the Ford Government attempted to pass a bill, Bill 28, in order to prevent a imminent strike by [=CUPE=] and enforce a contract on education workers. When faced with the unconstitutionality of forcing a labor contract on education workers via Bill 28, the Ford government sought to use the notwithstanding clause to ram through the Bill. When the bill was passed, [=CUPE=] went on strike anyways in protest and called for the support of every major union across Canada, citing the negative precedence the bill could set for labor negotiations across the country. Every major union in the country responded with massive donations to help [=CUPE=] cover the fines Bill 28 would impose on their strike, and their various leaders met with [=CUPE=] leaders to plan a possible general strike if Ford does not repeal Bill 28. As a result of the unity of Canadian unions against Ford and massive public backlash, the Ford government quickly repealed Bill 28 and headed back to the negotiation table. In response, [=CUPE=] and the other unions called off the strike on the day they were supposed to declare their planned general strike in a show of good faith and willingness to negotiate now that the Ford government having backed down.

* The Balkans. The three major factions are Croat, Bosnian, and Serb. Croats were traditionally German aligned and Catholic; Serbs Russian aligned and Orthodox, Bosnians were Turkish aligned and Muslim. So each side had volunteers and arms given, from Muhajadeen to volunteer adventurers, ideologues, Neo-Nazis, let alone French, Russian and American arms to various factions. Then NATO invaded...

* Chile, which began as a Spanish colony, ousted the Spanish authorities on September 18, 1810, and established a local government. Similar events took place in other cities in Spanish America, such as Buenos Aires. This began a war between the new governments and those loyal to the Spanish monarchy (patriots and royalists, similar to the patriots and loyalists of the American Revolution). Chile was finally reconquered after the royalist victory at the Disaster of Rancagua, Carrera, O'Higgins, and other patriots escaped to Mendoza (Argentina), at the other side of the Andes. There, O'Higgins worked with the Argentine José de San Martín to raise the Army of the Andes, that crossed the mountain range, counter-attacked the royalists, and drove them away from Chile forever. Even more, O'Higgins could not arrive in time to the battle of Maipu, the final battle, which was directed solely by San Martín.

* The Korean War, when the South was at the brink of being occupied, dozens of nations of the U.N. raced to South Korea's aid, and when the tables turned for North Korea, China and the USSR come in to aid it. In essence, this was the U.N. coming to the rescue of South Korea where its predecessor the League of Nations had failed to help Ethiopia in the 1930s.

** In addition, firefighters and other rescue and relief personnel traveled from across the nation to assist in the rescue and recovery efforts in New York City. This included personnel from Oklahoma City who the FDNY had previously helped after the Alfred P. Murrah Federal Building bombing of 1994.
*** This is common enough in firefighting to the point of it being the standard operating procedure. Usually, each station will have an area of the city in question's jurisdiction to cover, and they're the first to respond to calls coming from that area. If it's something relatively minor, like a two-car accident or chimney fire or some such, that's all that's needed. If it's something considerably larger, like a fully engulfed apartment complex, one or more stations from other areas can be called in. This is where "X Alarm Fire" comes from. A three-alarm fire means that three stations have had to be called in to fight it. This same thing happens on a ''much'' larger scale with wildfires, particularly in the American West. Wildfires (at least those remotely near civilization, those off in the middle of ass nowhere Alaska and the like are usually ignored) have resulted in firefighters from Oregon, Idaho, and California fighting fires in Alaska, and vice versa in every direction.

** An odd animal version came into play when one person who decided to ride the storm out found a hawk suddenly sitting in his truck. The hawk, which he aptly named Harvey the Hurricane Hawk, was scared, confused, and had some minor wing issues. The man posted videos of the hawk onto Website/YouTube, and after a few thousand people saw it, the Texas Wildlife Rehabilitation Coalition came by, picked up the hawk, rehabilitated her back to health, and took her to a sanctuary 250 miles north of Houston where she can "do Hawk Stuff now".
* The White Star Line and the Cunard Line, two of Britain's biggest shipping companies, were infamous for their fierce [[TheRival corporate rivalry]] in the early 20th century. But when White Star's prized passenger steamship RMS ''[[UsefulNotes/RMSTitanic Titanic]]'' infamously sank after hitting an iceberg in April 1912, it was a Cunard steamship--the RMS ''Carpathia''--that pushed past her own limits and dashed through the night to come to her aid and rescue the survivors.

* This trope is actually one of the most important powers of the (Ancient) Romans. The Romans have many allies in the Italian Peninsula and some out of it whose citizen will bolster Romans' army. [[UsefulNotes/PunicWars Hannibal]] knows both this fact and the fact that Romans are arrogant and rather tyrannical. So, he tries to subvert as many entities as possible but failed thanks to Fabius' strategy for those who do.

* This trope is inevitable whenever a conflict involves the Islamic world. [[Administrivia/RuleOfCautiousEditingJudgment Let's just say that]] a lot of Muslims from across the world are helping Hamas, Hizbullah, the Taliban, and the MILF. And their enemies wonder why they ''can't'' win against them.
