Question 1 • World History CR SUSD (EX)

Why did Germany’s attempt to isolate France through the Triple Alliance fail?

Answer
A
Austria-Hungary backed out of the alliance.
B
Russia felt threatened and attacked Germany.
C
France countered by creating the Triple Entente.
D
France attacked Germany before the alliance was solidified.

Explanation

The Triple Alliance united Germany, Austria-Hungary, and Italy, but it did not leave France isolated for long. France formed an alliance with Russia and later reached an understanding with Britain, helping create the opposing Triple Entente. Thus, France countered Germany’s effort to isolate it by building its own partnerships.
