Secondary-source excerpt (c. 105 words): A diplomatic historian argues that “Bismarck’s post-1871 foreign policy aimed less at conquest than at preventing a hostile coalition. Because French leaders sought to overturn the territorial settlement of 1871, Germany’s chancellor tried to keep France isolated by binding Austria-Hungary and Russia to Germany through overlapping agreements. The strategy depended on managing Balkan rivalries without allowing them to rupture great-power cooperation.”
Which agreement best fits the excerpt’s description of ‘binding Austria-Hungary and Russia to Germany’ in a shared framework?
