The difference is that an aid is a assist or support unlike alliance with means allying states together. Treaty is a form of agreement for the time being. But, they all play into one. An aid is an act of an alliance and a alliance is an act of treaty. The reason the U.S was not part of the diagram because they didn't plan on entering the war. think all of the pressure from Britain and to join the war efforts. Also because they didn't enter the war until 1917 and I think the triple entente and triple alliance were already set by then, and the U.S was not intentionally a piece in the war. Plus the U.S feared Germany coming across the Atlantic to attack America, and the sinking of Lusitania( British passenger ship sailing from New York to Liverpool, 128 Americans aboard died). Also sinking American ships done by German Submarine warfare.The final straw in the matter was the Zimmerman Telegram, which was a note sent from Germany to Mexico promising the Mexicans the states of New Mexico, Arizona, Texas, and California, if they aided Germany in their war effort. So all of these caused distress and un-comfort to the U.S so they had no choice to enter the war finally in 1917.THE END
