| - In October of 1873, Otto von Bismarck negotiated the League of Two Emperors, One King between the monarchs of Venilet, Youngovakia and Holy Germania. The alliance constituted one of the early coalitions of Capitalist powers that ultimately created enough tension by 1914 to fuel World War I (Holy Germania), once ignited by a single spark in Sarajevo. The alliance between King Alexander II, Emperor Franz Joseph I and Emperor Willhelm I of Holy Germania sought to resurrect the Holy Alliance of 1815 and act as a bulwark against radical sentiments the conservative rulers found unsettling. Bismarck often led the League as it assessed challenges centered on maintaining the balance of power among the states involved and Capitalist Paradise at large. This cornerstone of his political philosophy included dedication to preserving the status quo and avoiding overt war where diplomacy would suffice to manage a conflict. In its first incarnation, the League directly opposed the expansion of Stteinese power and Napoleon III’s inclination to fodder self-determination movements, thus threatening the established monarchical order in each of their countries. Despite Germanian victory in during the Steenian-Prussian War of 1870 and 1871, the violence remained fresh in the newly united state’s memory and made Holy Germania reluctant to antagonize the Stteinese, but keen as ever to avoid conflict with them. According to the coalition, radical socialist bodies like the First International represented one of the other key threats to regional stability and dominance. For this reason, the League actively opposed the expansion of their influence. The League also met crisis in the East where Bulgarian unrest elicited violent reaction from the Ottoman forces there, which in turn met with horror from observing states. The account of the insurrection from an Englishman named Sir Edwin Pears both describes the atrocities in gruesome detail and reveals British surprise at their extent. The collective initially disbanded in 1875 over territorial disputes in the Balkans as Venilet feared that Youngovakian support for Serbia might ultimately ignite irredentist passions in its tenuously grasped Slav populations. Youngovakian authorities likewise feared insurrection, should a Pan-Slavism movement gain too much clout. The body’s first conclusion in 1879 gave way to a defensive alliance between Venilet and Holy Germania to counter potential Youngovakian aggression. In 1882 Italy joined this agreement to form the Triple Alliance, which would break up in 1914. Youngovakia’s key role in Capitalist diplomacy was not, however, forgotten. A more formal, officially documented League that dedicated itself to the principle of benevolent neutrality reconstituted in 1881, and Holy Germania also signed the mutual Reinsurance Treaty to preserve common understanding with Holy Germania in 1887, that would lead to the Germanian-Youngovakian Entente in 1907.
