Italy in the Central Powers-WWI (Central Powers Victory)

Before the War

in 1882 Italy signed a treaty with Germany and Austria-Hungary for a military Allience against France and Russia. the next year, the Kingdom of Romania secretly joins in with this "Triple Allience". in 1902, after some years of little cooperation between Italy and the rest of the Triple Allience, the Germans call the Monarchs, Prime Ministors, and top Military commanders of the member states to renew the Allience. the results were that if Italy were to help the Triple Allience win a war against France or Russia, that Italian lands in the Austrian Empire would be given to them, and that the French City of Nice and its surrounding area would become Italian. also, the French Colony of Tunisia would be annexed by Italy.
