German Reinsurance Treaty with Russia Coming
Compliments of the Lifschultz Organization founded in 1899
The Reinsurance Treaty was a diplomatic agreement between the German Empire and the Russian Empire that was in effect from 1887 to 1890. Only a handful of top officials in Berlin and St. Petersburg knew of its existence since it was top secret. The treaty played a critical role in German Chancellor Otto von Bismarck‘s extremely complex and ingenious network of alliances and agreements, which aimed to keep the peace in Europe and to maintain Germany’s economic, diplomatic and political dominance.
