LEADING TO WWI

SYSTEM OF ALLIANCE

Defensive military alliances that would only kick in if a country inside of the alliance was attacked by a country outside of the alliance.

DUAL ALLIANCE

In 1879 a treaty was created between Austria-Hungary and Germany.

Triple alliance: an alliance between Germany, Italy, and Austria-Hungary (1882)
Triple entente: an alliance between France, Britain, and Russia, for military support (1907)

The treaty was created so that the countries would band together in military assistance if Russia attacked.
