Bismarck arranges an alliance with Austria-Hungary in …
Years: 1876 - 1887
Bismarck arranges an alliance with Austria-Hungary in 1879 and one with Italy in 1882.
His triumph, however, is a secret alliance he forms by means of the Reinsurance Treaty with
Russia in 1887, although its terms violate the spirit of the treaty with Austria-Hungary.
However much these agreements contributed to German security, Bismarck's plunge into the
European scramble for overseas colonies ultimately weakens it by awakening British fears about Germany's long-term geopolitical aims.
Subsequent feelers he puts out with a view to establishing an understanding with Britain are rebuffed.
