Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Italy really wasn’t as great of a partner in the Triple Alliance as Germany and Austria-Hungary were. Italy, for a long time, had hated Austria Hungary and were wary about entering into an alliance with them. Italy was a little bit like a “third wheel” in the triple alliance.
Detailed explanation-2: -Triple Entente, association between Great Britain, France, and Russia, the nucleus of the Allied Powers in World War I.
Detailed explanation-3: -Italy’s main issue was its enmity with Austria-Hungary, Germany’s main ally. That made Italy the “odd man out” in the so-called Triple Alliance with the other two.
