The League of the Three Emperors: Bismarck's Fragile Alliance
The League of the Three Emperors was a shifting alliance between Germany, Austria-Hungary, and Russia from 1873 to 1887, orchestrated by Otto von Bismarck to isolate France and maintain peace in Europe. It ultimately collapsed due to irreconcilable Austro-Russian rivalries in the Balkans, setting the stage for World War I.
