Russia took alarm, and turned to France for support, p 210 MODERN EUROPE In 1891 the French Atlantic fleet paid a visit to Kronstadt, and it soon became known that at the festivities attending the entertainment of the visitors a Franco-Russian alliance was discussed and agreed to shortly after. But since Germany seemed, by the abandonment of her Russian agreement, to be able to defy the combined forces of France and Russia, these two Powers eagerly looked round for further support. Their though...ts naturally turned to Great Britain, while it was also suggested that the French quarrel with Italy might be patched up in the hopes of breaking the Triple Alliance, unpopular as it had always been in Italy. The task of bringing over England and Italy was a hard one.
