Yes

Explanation:

Therefore I could establish an alliance with them. Due to our friendship, this gives me access to trade with the other tribe, giving me resources I need to tend to my people. With these resources I have been able to build homes for m people and roads connecting our two villages. We've been trading for years now, and I have been given access to iron tools and weapons. With the tools, farmers have been able to plant crops as a food source for our village. With the weapons we have been able to defend our selves from invasions. As the years pass our tribe eventually march to the neighboring tribe that we once traded with to conquer them. With our iron weapons we conquered the tribe easily, and the villages prospered.
