1864 CE to 1875 CE

Russia had given guarded support to the anti-Austrian diplomacy of the French, as part of the regime's foreign policy goals in Europe.

A weak Franco-Russian entente had soured, however, when France backed a Polish uprising against Russian rule in 1863.

Russia subsequently aligns itself more closely with Prussia and tolerates the unification of Germany in exchange for a revision of the Treaty of Paris and the remilitarization of the Black Sea.

These diplomatic achievements come at a London conference in 1871, following Prussia's
defeat of France.

After 1871 Germany, united by Prussia, is the strongest continental power in Europe.

It supports both Russia and Austria-Hungary, and in 1873 it forms the loosely knit League
of the Three Emperors with those two powers to forestall them from forming an alliance with France.
