Bismark worked hard to form alliances with Austria-Hungary and Italy. He sought an alliance with Russia, it was very difficult because Russia and Austria-Hungary were enemies.
The Triple Alliance in 1913, shown in red.The Triple Alliance was the military alliance between Germany, Austria-Hungary, and Italy, (as opposing the Triple Entente which consisted of an alliance between Britain, France and Russia), that lasted from 1882[1] until the start of World War I in 1914.[
In 1879 Germany and Austria-Hungary agreed to form a Dual Alliance. This became the Triple Alliance when in 1882 it was expanded to include Italy. The three countries agreed to support each other if attacked by either France or Russia. It was renewed at five-yearly intervals. The formation of the Triple Entente in 1907 by Britain, France and Russia, reinforced the need for the alliance.Illustration from Neil Demarco's The Great WarTriple Alliance Resources in 1914 CountryPopulation Soldiers Battleships Foreign Trade (£) Steel Production (tons) Germany 65,000,000 8,500,000 37 1,030,380,000 17,024,000 Austro-Hungary 49,882,231 3,000,000 16 198,712,000 2,642,000 Turkey 21,373,900 360,000 - 67,472,000 - In 1879 Germany and Austria-Hungary agreed to form a Dual Alliance.

The Triple Alliance consisted of Italy, Germany, and Austria-Hungary. The "Allied Powers" were the members of the Triple Entente: Russia, France, and the United Kingdom. They were eventually joined by several other nations, most significantly the United States and Japan. (Italy, which had never been all that committed in the first place, actually left the Triple Alliance during the war and came in on the Allied side.)
The dual alliance of 1892 between France and Russia arose from fear of Germany.
Bulgaria was part of the Central Powers, alongside with Germany, Austria-Hungary and the Ottoman Empire. It joined the alliance in October 1915.
By 1914, the six major powers of Europe were split into two alliances, which would â?? with the exception of Italy â?? form the two warring sides in World War One. Britain, France and Russia were in the Triple Entente, while Germany, Austria-Hungary and Italy were in the Triple Alliance.
No. It was for explicitly this reason that he was overthrown by the British and Soviets.
Yes. This formed part of the "Triple Entente"
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.
