league of the three emperors

League of the Three Emperors ("Dreikaiserbund") 1873

Creation of a Conservative league between Germany, Russia and Austria
Post Franco-Prussian War
Alliance against radicals

Conservatives in the three countries were wary of the growing threat (as they perceived it) of liberalism and so created a league of nations that would protect their more conservative forms of government. At that time:

Germany had a Kaiser;
Austria-Hungary had an emperor; and
Russia had a tsar who claimed divine right.

The league was resurrected in 1881 but soon fell apart and after 1894 Russia found itself in the opposing camp with France.
