!!!Dreikaiserbündnis

Three Emperors´ League, formed 1881 between Austria-Hungary, 
Russia and the German Empire on the initiative of Bismarck. It aimed 
at securing neutrality for the three allies in cases of aggression 
from a fourth party and acknowledging their respective interests in 
the Balkans. Despite a renewal of the agreement in 1884, the League 
failed because of the differences between Austria-Hungary and Russia 
over the "Battenberg affair" (1885-1887).
