Germany, under the leadership of Otto Van Bismarck, had won a stunning victory over France in the Franco-Prussian War. To deter France from seeking revenge, Bismarck pursued policies to isolate France and gain allies for Germany. Bismarck set into motion an alliance with Austria-Hungary, whose expansion into the Balkans conflicted with Russian policies. In 1879, Germany and Austria-Hungary joined in a defensive military alliance. Now, Italy was enraged at France, whose seizure of Tunisia in 1881 thwarted Italian military objectives. In 1882, Italy agreed to a defensive military alliance with Germany and Austria-Hungary. This became known as the Triple Alliance.
