The Reinsurance Treaty was secretly signed in 1887 between Russia and Germany, declaring that both nations would stay neutral in the event that one or the other fought a war against another great power. The exception being if Germany attacked France, and Russia attacked Austria Hungary. Otto von Bismarck, the German chancellor at the time, was very important in the signing of the treaty. So when he was sacked three years later, in 1890 the treaty was not renewed by Kaiser Wilhelm II. Importantly, the vacuum left by the absence of this treaty allowed France to jump in and sign off on the Franco-Russian Alliance in 1892.
My question is, what happens if Kaiser Wilhelm decides to renew the treaty, and create better relations with Russia?
