Prior to World War I, Germany had an alliance with two major European powers. The first was the Austro-Hungarian Empire, which controlled portions of southeastern Europe. The second was the nation of Italy.
There was the Triple Alliance; Which involved Italy, Germany, and Austro-Hungary. Then the Triple Entente; Which involved France, Britian, and Russia.
Prior to and during World War I, the Triple Alliance between Great Britain, France, and Russia was focused on deterring German expansion and discouraging any German declarations of war. In the event that war should break out, the Triple Alliance would stand together with a unified effort, which in fact was the case when World War I began in 1914.
Prior to World War 1, the alliance between Germany, Austria, and Italy was known as the Triple Alliance, which formed into an alliance between Germany, Austria, Bulgaria, and the Ottoman Empire.Prior to World War 2, Austria and Germany unified into a single German state in a process known as Anschluß, or unification.
Most of the parties involved already had machine guns in their inventory prior to the outbreak of the First World War.

what was france position prior to world war I?
The Triple Alliance was formed by Chancellor Otto von Bismarck in two stages: 1. Alliance between Germany and Austria-Hungary (1879). 2. In 1882 Italy, which at the time was in dispute with France in North Africa, joined the alliance. Italy's joining didn't really make sense as Italy had claims on Austria-Hungary. The Triple Alliance was not something created in the run-up to World War 1.
