Triple Alliance
Why did Italy join the alliance?
What is the Triple Alliance?
Italy joined the Triple Alliance because they wanted more land, particularly in Greece, Turkey, and the Balkans. Additionally, Italy feared that France would launch an attack and use the Alliance as a safety net. Making the alliance would stop Austria from taking any more of "Italian" land in war, and would negotiate land back to Italy. It kept a secret treaty with France, and in 1915 was offered to join the Allies for land
The Triple Alliance was a pact made in 1882 between Austria-Hungary, Italy and Germany. This alliance was formed for protection and support if one of the countries went into war with a different country.
Why did Germany join the alliance?
My opinion
Triple Alliance
Germany decided to join the Triple Alliance because it needed protection against a potential two front war with France and Russia. The wanted to eliminate the Schliffen without any opposing threats to stop them. Germany likely joined the alliance due to its other neautral alliance with Austria-Hungary.
Why did Austria-Hungary join the alliance?
What was the objective for the alliance?
Austria-Hungary joining the Triple Alliance was mostly due to the fact that it shared many ethnic ideals with Germany such as speaking German, shared borders, and had the same imperialistic desires. Austria-Hungary used the alliance as a way to gain and steal land from Italy to expand its power so it could overthrow the stronger oppositions.
To stop any threats from other nations and to give eachother support and military when embarking in a war. They were trying to gain as much land as possible while stopping any threats from intruding and stopping them.
