Answer
Exam answer
The Triple Alliance of 1882 was signed by GERMANY, AUSTRIA-HUNGARY and ITALY.
Explanation
Two marks for three names, so give them precisely and add the year if you can. Do not confuse it with the Triple Entente of 1907 — France, Russia and England. The memory hook: Germany and Austria-Hungary are always in the ALLIANCE; Britain and France always in the ENTENTE. The twist worth knowing: Italy abandoned the Alliance and fought on the Allied side from 1915.
