'The pattern of alliances and agreements formed in Europe in the years 1879-1907 was shaped primarily by Germany's security concerns .' To what extent do you agree with this opinion?The alliances formed from 1879 to 1907 were primarily due to Germany's security concerns, as shown by German attempts to isolate France to prevent it from taking revenge of the Franco-Prussian War by trying to woo Russia into entering into a permanent alliance with it and Austria and trying to prevent conflict between Austria and Russia. They also tried not to antagonize Britain and thus focus on Europe, but this changed after Emperor Wilhelm II dismissed Bismarck and adopted Weltpolitik. However, there are other factors in the formation of patterns and alliances. Indeed, the Dual was a specific alliance against Russia and Austria, even though Germany's main threat was France. Thus, showing that German policy was not necessarily focused on security, but perhaps on other factors, such as trying to support Austria and prevent it from becoming the new sick man of Europe. An example of this demonstrated motive is the Congress of Berlin in 1878, where Russia lost much influence in the Balkan countries and Austria gained by being allowed to occupy. The last major alliance signed between 1879 and 1908 was the Anglo-French Entente. . The main reasons for signing the treaty were the countries' competing imperial ambitions. The French wanted British support for Morocco as compensation for their loss at Fashoda. The treaty was signed and settled other outstanding colonial issues. There was no alliance commitment from either side, but it significantly improved Britain's relations with Britain.
