00:01:06.430 - 00:01:26.350

form the Tripolis, or Triple Alliance. Growing in power and status, Germany begins colonizing African territories. For its part, Franz allies with the Russian empire and signs a secret pact off nonaggression with Italy, thus avoiding a second front in case of war. The British empire fears the
