Strategically the triple alliance had a very strong position because they were all linked by borders ,almost like a wall in between the triple entente, and could therefore, effectively cut off all communication between Russia, Britain and France. However because Austria-Hungary attacked Serbia -thereby immediately bringing Russia into the war- they could not put their strategic location into effect. Another large part in the beginning of the war was that Italy did not join in until May 1915 by which time the weight of numbers of the triple entente had given them a large advantage and so the triple alliance also started off the war by losing one ally and their strategic position.
