A HUGE CHANGE IN EUROPE

Two new states were

Made Germany in
1871 and Italy in
1861.
The former empire of Austria-Hungary was dissolved,
and new nations were created from its land: Austria,

The policy of alliance by European
nation
In London on September 5, 1914, Russia, France, and
Great Britain formalized their alliance with a treaty
stipulating that no member of the partnership would
make a separate peace with their mutual
enemies (“the Central powers”). It was from this point
that the countries were called “the Allies.”
WORLD WAR I BEGINS
The majority joined on the side of the Allies,
including Serbia, Russia, France, Britain, Italy and the
United States. They were opposed by Germany,
Austria-Hungary, Bulgaria and the Ottoman Empire,
who together formed the Central Powers.
