The basis of the Triumvirate was founded with the Franco-Spanish Alliance, a pact which established close diplomatic, military, and social ties between both France and Spain. The alliance also ensured that the territorial borders between both countries would not be infringed. Overall, it helped to create strong feelings of camaraderie and a shared brotherhood between ordinary French and Spanish citizens, and the military pact itself was even enacted several times, most notably after members of the Spanish army helped the French crush an invading Belgian force in the Battle of Paris, an event which would precipitate the downfall of Belgium as a whole.

Despite this success, Franco-Spanish relations with the Greater Roman Empire were lukewarm at best, and quickly beginning to sour. Grievances between the three nations further culminated after Spanish territorial sovereignty was challenged by the defection of many of their towns to the Roman Empire (the predecessor to the Roman Republic), nearly leading to a war. Conflict, however, was averted through the signing of the [[The French-Spanish ultimatum|French-Spanish Ultimatum]], which led to the abdication of Zqppy, return of all Spanish towns to Spain, and collapse of the Roman Empire. A power vacuum would be left on the Italian peninsula while the Greater Roman Empire sought to develop a new structure of governance for its western territories from the ruins of the Roman Empire. The vacuum would eventually be filled by the newly instated Roman Republic, headquartered in the former Byzantine city of Hydruntum. With stability reached in the Greater Roman Empire, and an entirely new regime in the West, the stage was set for a new era of cooperation between the three nations.
