France and Austria-Hungary were enemies in World War I primarily due to longstanding territorial and political rivalries. France sought to recover Alsace-Lorraine, lost to Germany in the Franco-Prussian War, and was concerned about the growing power of Germany and its allies, including Austria-Hungary. Additionally, France had formed alliances with Russia and Britain, creating a counterbalance to the Central Powers, which included Austria-Hungary and Germany. This network of alliances and mutual antagonisms ultimately contributed to the outbreak of the war.
