The question in English and the one in Dutch that he posted are both the same.
As for the answer, to ally with a certain country, you first need to have good relations with a country (so trade often with them, don't attack their ships, etc). Once you reach a certain rank, you will be able to request an audience with the king of other countries: walk up to the palace and talk to the guards - if they don't let you in it's either because your rank is insufficient or because you need some kind of paper from your own king.
It's by talking to the foreign king that you will be able to forge an alliance.
Sorry if I'm a bit vague at some points, it's been several years since I played this game.
