Italy withdrow from the Triple Alliance and after dissension between the long Neutralists and the Intervention- ists found her way into the war through the Treaty of London (1016) in which the lies offered various inducements including tho control of the Eastern Adriatic, Furthermore by the Treaty of St. Jean de Maurienne some 70,000 square miles in Asia Minor wore allotted to Italy.

It might seem natural that in the first fastance Italy should look to her near neighbour France, but the events of 1859-60 had chilled the relations between the two countries nor were these improved by subsequent friction in the Mediterranean and by the Roman question.

Though the main plank in Italy's Mediterranean polley then and up to the present day was a good understanding with Great Britain and the maintenance of the friend ship which dated from the days of the Risorgimento, there were no grounds for anything in the nature of a formal alliance. Apart from France and Great Britain there remained Germany between which | country and Italy there was not unnatural sympathy owing to their having recently shared an analog ous history. Until 1871 and 1864 "Germany" and "Italy" had been bul "geographical expressions," but in those years each country had fought its way to national unity.
