    3. Starting colonies with the new world

    Explanation:

    After world war I, Otto Von Bismark wanted to Isolate France from the powers of Europe, to weaken their effective military strength in the case of another war.

    However, Bismarck was generally known for his apathy towards acquiring new colonies. he had repeatedly said " ... I am no man for colonies". Bismarck further abandoned more of German colonies, giving them away to the British. It was, he said, "a burden and an expense, and he would like to saddle someone else with it".

    Bismarck didn't believe in starting colonies in the New World

    This makes option 3 correct.

    Option 1 is wrong.

    This is because the Triple Alliance was a secret agreement between Germany, Austria-Hungary, and Italy. Italy sought support against France shortly after losing North African ambitions to France. Otto Von Bismarck is regarded as the principal architect of the alliance.

    Option 2 is wrong.

    This is because Bismarck's relations with England, were in fact to isolate France. Bismarck didn't want the French to form bonds, treaties or pacts with the major powers of Europe. That is why he decided to establish relations with England in order to prevent this.

    Option 4 is wrong.

    Relations with Russia were established by Bismarck, to ensure the isolation of France, and hence weaken their strength in war. Since Russia was one of the European powers at that time, Bismarck formed agreements with Russia, to prevent them from supporting France in during any war.
