Alliance of Free States

The Alliance of Free States (AFS) (French: Alliance des États Libres) is a global diplomatic, trade and military alliance of capitalist states, aligned with the Franco-British Union. The organization constitutes the capitalist counterpart to the Third Communist International in the Cold War.

History
The Alliance of Free States was founded by member states of the Allied Forces and their aligned civilian administrations in the occupied territories of the former Axis powers following World War II. Disputes regarding former Axis-controlled territory quickly lead to a re-escalation of tensions between the Allies and the Comintern, marking the start of the Cold War. The former Allied Powers established the Alliance of Free States in order to counter the Comintern in the late 1940s.
