Tensions were building between France and Germany; each was afraid that the other was going to invade. Thus, Germany wanted to deter France by building military support.
Also, Russia was hostile towards Germany because Bismarck revised the San Stefano Treaty against Russia's favour; Germany needed someone to weather these hostilities with. The Dreikaiserbund already placed Germany and Austria as past allies, Austria also needed strengthening against Russia, so Bismarck and Andrássy (Austria-Hungary's Foreign Minister) joined forces.
