How to keep Dreikaiserbund alive?
As I see it, the problem is that interests of A-H and Russia in the Balkans were very conflicting. So Germany in essence had to pick a side. Be A-Hs ally against Russia, or to support Russia against A-H.
OTL Germany choose to support A-H.
But, is some sort of a deal where both the A-H and the Russia will be satisfied possible?
Delimitation of their interest zones in Balkans? Allowing the Russians to get the Straits?
?
Also, if such agreement is achieved- does that prevents a World War? Or, is combination of Russia, A-H and Germany too strong?
