Imagine Russia, the complete and utter superpower of those days, falling to the Triple Alliance. Just about half of Asia would be down the drain, and essentially all that would stand would be America and some parts of Asia.
My point is, war is necessary when you've got a guy who wants to kill you on the other side of the pond.
