The following treaty is made between Germany and Austria:

Facing the possible invasion from the East, the leaders of the German Reich and Austrio-Hungarian Empire recognise that the sacred fates of the German nation, as well as the Hungarian nation and other nations of the Dual Monarchy, are at stake. To protect the rightful interests of both countries, this treaty of friendship and cooperation is signed:

  1. Austria-Hungary and Germany will not attack each other, nor help other countries in offensive against either Austria-Hungary or Germany. The signatories are not prevented to give support to third country units in defensive operations of any kind.
  2. Austria recognises that the territories of the Congress Poland, which under present Russian administration are officially called Privislinskiy Krai, and for the international diplomatic community may be better known as the province of Warsaw, belong to the German sphere of influence. Therefore, Austria will not invade the territory without German consent, and if Germany decides to take the province, Austria will provide all reasonable help.
  3. This treaty is valid until fall 1907.

Signed by

Kaiser von Österreich

Deutscher Kaiser

it should be confirmed by Germany, of course

Germany has continued attacking Austria after French armies have been eliminated from the continent, and the German move to Marseille clearly shows that German motive for that was not protection of Italy in terms of the Italian-German pact. We thus observe that Germany has abused the treaty with us and our willingness to maintain peace to achieve goals which were not in accordance with the original spirit of our treaty. The subsequent negotiations with Germany showed that continued cooperation would need us to betray Turkey who proved to be a reliable ally. Therefore we do no more feel bound by any earlier commintments to Germany, and declare our Treaty, as given in the parent comment, null and void.
