A quick definition of alternat:

Term: ALTERNAT

Definition: Alternat is a fancy word that means taking turns. It's like when you and your friend take turns playing with a toy. In the case of diplomats and states, it means they take turns signing a treaty and each one gets a copy with their signature first.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: Alternat (pronounced awl-tuh-nit or al-ter-nah) is a French word that refers to the rotation in precedence among states, diplomats, and other officials, especially during the signing of treaties. This means that each diplomat gets a copy of the treaty with their signature appearing first.

During the signing of the peace treaty, the diplomats took turns signing in an alternat manner. The first diplomat from one country signed, followed by the first diplomat from the other country, and so on.

Another example of alternat is during a meeting of heads of state. The order in which they speak or present their ideas may be determined by an alternat system, where each leader takes turns speaking in a specific order.

These examples illustrate how alternat works by ensuring that each person involved in a diplomatic process is given equal importance and opportunity to participate. By rotating the order in which they sign or speak, no one person or country is given priority over the others.
