(Tacitus) Two years in two hours

The Austrian Hungarian Empire has allied itself with both The Ottoman Empire and Russia to form the Eastern alliance. At this same time, France and England have formed an alliance as well, which is strange for two countries with a history like theirs, so this comraddery is very suspect. What could they be planning? Austria-Hungary is attempting to stay out of any conflict or war, which so far has gone very well. Russia's expansion and conquest of the Nordic countries will, inevitably, lead to conflict or even war with England and France. It is not clear if Germany will aid Russia in the event of conflict, as France and England took Belgium and Holland, which boarders Germany and Germany wanted to expand into those lands. The reason for England and France taking Holland and Belgium is so England can have armies on mainland Europe, as England is isolated from the rest of Europe by ocean. Eventually, Italy was forced out of Italy and pushed into North Africa by the Ottomans, who have already collected a lot of power. There was no Italian resistance to this invasion. Italy's inaction is suspicious, as in early 1903 it planned to conquer Spain, but was foiled by the French naval forces that reside there. Soon, both alliances, the Eastern Alliance and the British-Franco alliance came an agreement to spilt the land of Italy. Austria-Hungary already controlled the land of Apulia, and was promised Venice by the Ottomans. But France told Austria-Hungary that they would give them Rome. However, BOTH of these lands were taken by France and the Ottomans. France took Venice, as agreed, but the Ottomans took Rome and clearly did not tell the other that Austria-Hungary was allowed both lands. France was very apologetic to Austria-Hungary about the Ottomans seizing Rome, but the Ottomans did not really say anything on the matter. Austria-Hungary hopes it can have a supply center somewhere in Italy as promised, and is ready to have some discussions with France and The Ottomans about this matter. Meanwhile, Germany and Austria-Hungary have kept peace and not trampled into each other's land. This is most likely because there is full, clear conversation between the two countries about expansion and boarders.
