Otto Bismarckenstein von und zu der Tann Rathsmannhaußen-Schwerig-Gothen-Arbeitwerker decided that Prussian bier just wasn't enough for him. WW1 began when the drunk Kaisers of Austria and Germany got together and bet that Austria didn't have the balls to conquer all the way down to the Ottoman Empire. Austria accepted the bet and began to conquer Montenegro and Serbia, and eventually decided to cheat by persuading the Ottoman Empire to join their side. Russia... liked little Montenegro and thought of it as a little brother, and told Austria to back off. The Kaisers of Germany and Austria (who were drunk) declared war on Russia with the following ultimatum (fixed grammatically from the slurred writing of the Emperors in order to allow for easier reading):
A master of foreign policy, Bismarck secured Germany against France by maintaining alliances in the east. Reconciliation with Austria led to an alliance (1879), joined in 1882 by Italy (see Triple Alliance and Triple Entente). Simultaneously, Bismarck kept alive the Three Emperors’ League of Germany, Austria-Hungary, and Russia. He weathered the Liberal opposition and retained his chancellorship during the brief reign (1888) of Frederick III, but he was dismissed in 1890 by William II. Bismarck was succeeded as chancellor by von Caprivi, Hohenlohe-Schillingsfürst (1894), and Bernhard von Bülow (1900).
