The Central Powers (1 jan 1879 ano – 1 jan 1882 ano)
Descrição:
 The triple alliance also known as the Central Powers, grew out of close relationship that developed between the leaders of Germany  and Austria-Hungary during the last three decades of the 19th century. In 1879 the government of the two empires entered into the Dual Alliance, a defensive pact that ensured reciprocal protection from a Russian attack and neutrality in case of an attack from any other power. Italy, fearful of France joined the Dual  Alliance in 1882, thereby transforming it into the Triple Alliance
