Dual Alliance

This is known as the Dual Alliance.

Rumania is listed as an ally of the World War I Dual Alliance between Germany and Austria-Hungary; it was not, but Bulgaria was.

While for these reasons Germany and Austria may not have regarded such a war or the intervention of England therein as probable, yet the dual alliance recognized from the outset such a possibility.

Thus was forged the main financial link in the chain of common interests which soon after led to the Dual Alliance.

Fifteen years later the Jewish question also played a part in the curious Russo-German rapprochement which nearly wrecked the Dual Alliance.
