    Aliens: those other aliens destroyed a few planets, we showed them what could happen if we make an A bomb and use it.
    Other Aliens: the enemy destroyed a few continents on one of our colony worlds, so we told them we would use an A bomb if they kept going.
    Humans: they sunk a few ships so we dropped the sun on them TWICE. AND WE MADE MILLIONS MORE.

    The way of how we can view our own species and see that we could be a plague on others, but at the same time how much we're willing to help. Also with the underlined element of human greed, which in general humans in mass have always had predominantly in the society that thrives. A very ugly thing greed but it helps push us sadly.

    Human civilians helping to save an alien from its crashed ship by lifting it up.

    And lastly
    Aliens realizing why humans are so compassionate.

When the alien army arrived we were unprepared, we only had a few plantey defense weapons and a lot of civalins on the ground, so as our ships were being pushed back, someone had the idea to use mining nukes. And it worked, there shielding was just for standard solar radiation, not a mini sun in there face, so beagan a new arms race, one so that aliens never go to war with us again.
