1912 Germany Poster Stamp Unity Holds Power! Triple Alliance Germany Portraits of Wilhelm II, Franz Josef I, Viktor Emanuel II Unused No Gum. The Triple Alliance was a military alliance formed on 20 May 1882 between Germany, Austria-Hungary, and Italy and renewed periodically until it expired in 1915 during World War I. Germany and Austria-Hungary had been closely allied since 1879. Italy was looking for support against France shortly after it lost North African ambitions to the French. Under the treaty, Germany and Austria-Hungary would come to Italy's aid if attacked by France without provocation. Conversely, Italy was obligated to assist Germany if France launched an attack. Should a conflict arise between Austria-Hungary and Russia, Italy committed to remaining neutral. While the existence of the alliance was public knowledge, the specific details of the treaty remained confidential until they were disclosed in 1919.
