Abstract


The Franco-Russian entente of the early 1890s and the Triple Alliance (Germany, Austria-Hungary, Italy) should have guaranteed peace. Both favoured the status quo. Italy retained a good relationship with the United Kingdom and with Spain, who looked positively upon this as a means of debilitating France. The French would have become isolated if Lord Salisbury's government had finally chosen to join the Triple Alliance in order to resist French pretensions in Egypt, since this would have brought a regrouping of the European powers. There were other possible combinations, too, including an alliance between the United Kingdom and Russia, against France, or an Anglo-French rapprochement through an agreement about disputed colonial territories. This occurred during the Cuban war of independence, as a result of apprehensions about the interference of the United States.
