Context and question: If the British Empire was now going to side with the Russian Empire, the Ottoman Empire had no choice but to cultivate a relationship with the Austro-Hungarian Empire, which was supported by the German Empire.

By its end in 1918 three empires were gone, a fourth was about to fall to revolution, and two more, the British and French, were forced to yield in revolutions started under the aegis of their own ideologies.
The formation of the Triple Entente and the Triple Alliance partly caused what?

Context and question: By the Treaty of Paris (1763), France regained the five establishments captured by the British during the war (Pondichery, Mahe, Karikal, Yanam and Chandernagar) but was prevented from erecting fortifications and keeping troops in Bengal (art.

Elsewhere in India, the French were to remain a military threat, particularly during the War of American Independence, and up to the capture of Pondichery in 1793 at the outset of the French Revolutionary Wars without any military presence.

The Treaty of Paris prevented France from keeping troops in what location?
