Treaty of Innsbruck
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Treaty of Innsbruck was signed in Innsbruck, Tyrol, on April 5, 1880 between representatives of Italy and Germany.
Based on the terms of the accord, both signatories (including Austria-Hungary) agreed to establish a mutual defensive alliance. This alliance was mandatory in that if a foreign power attacked one of the signatories, then the other two signatories were required to declare war on the attacker. In lieu of any major conflict, Austria-Hungary would have been the first to make a declaration of war and thus activate the alliance. In another tenet of the accord, both Italy and Germany had the right to release each other's treaty obligations. Moreover, both states had the right to jointly release Austria-Hungary from its treaty obligations.
