· The treaty was talked about and signed in May 1881. · Germany and Austria-Hungary promised to help Italy if it were attacked by France, and vice versa. · Also, if any of the three countries find itself at war with two countries, or more, the other two were to provide military assistance. · The treaty was renewed every five years up until the outbreak of war in 1915. · Rather than Italy being faithful and following the treaty France and Italy had an agreement. · It was found out that Italy and France would stay neutral in the event of an attack upon the other. · That outbreak happened only five months after the treaty was renewed too. · One of the major reasons of the Triple Alliance was to stop Italy from starting war against Austria-Hungary. · <span style="color: black; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 150%;">The Italians were in constant arguments over territory issues with Austria-Hungary which is why Italy was added in the Triple Alliance. · <span style="color: black; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 150%;">[]
