1882 - Triple Alliance between Germany, Austria-Hungry, and Italy is made.

This makes Russia and France nervous....

So in 1894 the Franco- Russian Alliance was a military alliance that basically said - if Germany attacks one of us the other country will come to its aid. That means France and Russia would "bookend" Germany and it would have to fight a war on two fronts....

Which it did in World War I, hence the Eastern and Western Fronts.

The French had felt isolated since starting, and losing, the Franco-Prussian War in 1870. So their alliance was a counter-balance to the Triple Alliance.
