Question 3

Term for identification: Triple Alliance

Accepted Answer

The Triple Alliance was a military alliance that existed prior to World War I, which was formed in 1882 between Germany, Austria-Hungary, and Italy. The main purpose of the alliance was to provide mutual support and defense for the three nations, particularly against the perceived threat of France, which was isolated at the time. The terms of the alliance stipulated that if any of the three countries were attacked by two or more powers, or if Germany and Italy were attacked by France, the others would come to their aid.

The Triple Alliance was part of the complex network of alliances and treaties that characterized European international relations at the end of the 19th and the beginning of the 20th centuries. These alliances were intended to create a balance of power and prevent any one nation from becoming too dominant. However, they also contributed to the tensions that eventually led to the outbreak of World War I, as the web of alliances turned local conflicts into wider wars.

The alliance was tested when World War I broke out in 1914. Italy initially remained neutral, arguing that the alliance was defensive in nature and that Austria-Hungary's declaration of war on Serbia was an act of aggression. In 1915, Italy entered the war on the side of the Entente Powers (France, the United Kingdom, and Russia) after being promised territorial gains at the expense of Austria-Hungary. This effectively ended the Triple Alliance, as the former allies became enemies in the conflict.
