Italy decided to avoid entering the war on the side of the Central Powers (Germany and Austria Hungary) by claiming that the treaty which bound them to do so was not relevant because of a technicality. In actuality, Italy was bribed by Great Britain, which secretly promised Italy territory in the northern Adriatic region that was part of the Austro Hungarian Empire, if Italy refrained from entering the war on the side of Germany and Austria Hungary, and instead became the ally of Great Britain and France.
