Edited caption

[edit]

I took the sentence "The Italian Fasces and the German Imperial Eagle can be seen on the curtains above." away from the caption to the satirical image, because it is most likely wrong. The two figures represent the lands of the characters: the fasces bear a phrygian cap with a French cockade, while the double-headed eagle is a symbol of the Russian Empire. 78.34.61.191 (talk) 00:03, 1 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Clarity?

[edit]

In the history section, "As a result of the negotiations, the representatives of the Russian and French general staffs signed a military convention on Aug. 5 (17), 1892, which provided for mutual military aid in the event of a German attack. By an exchange of letters between Dec. 15 (27), 1893, and Dec. 23, 1893 (Jan. 4, 1894" There are dates in parenthesis, there seems to be no indication whatsoever, why! I don't know the reason, if there is any, please clarify it.Akash (talk) 14:25, 8 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Typos?

[edit]

How is this sentence meant to go?

>>This led to the defeat of Germany the battle of the Marne, to the collapse of the Schlieffen Plan, and finally to the defeat of Germany.

Error in hyperlinking

[edit]

One instance of the use of 'Triple Alliance' connects to the wrong triple alliance.

Terms of the Franco-Russian alliance ?

[edit]

The article presents the history of the alliance but not the terms of the treaty. There's no mention of the fact that the alliance did not require France to support Russia in a war with Japan (unless Britain joined the war). This condition proved awkward during the Russo-Japanese war of 1904-1905.
