How do you make alliances?

from GalCiv2 Forums
I am new to this game and it is too cool, but I am still stumbling around. How do you make aliances with other races? I read the manual from cover to cover and watched the tutorial and only saw how to trade with other races. I must have missed this detail on how to make aliances, or does this option only show up as you research more into the diplomacy tree?

You need to research the alliance tech and make sure your relation is "close".

Sometimes depending on difficulty and their need for friends.. getting them to close isn't easy.
