League of the Three Emperors
(Redirected from Dreikaiserbund)
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.
