I think that what pushed the us toward the supporting of the triple entente and not the triple alliance was the how it help each other that should. They had been attacked by the other countries and that was considered a great power to the US.
The Triple Entente: Britain, France, RussiaThe Triple Alliance: Germany, Austria-Hungary,Italy. (However, Italy's membership was meaningless and Italy fought alongside the Entente from April 1915)The Ottoman Empire, which fought alongside the Central Powers (from September 1914 on, was not a member of either.The US, which entered the war on the side of the Triple Entente was also not a member of either.
The Triple Entente.
Britain, France, And Russia formed the Triple Entente after 1907, and were allied in World War I (1914-1919).(In World War I, Russia withdrew after military setbacks and the October Revolution, and was replaced more or less by the US, not a member of the Entente.)
The original alliance of England, France, and Russia, which existed before WW I and before the US joined the alliance, was called the Triple Entente, which is derived from the French word meaning understanding. These three nations, in other words, had an understanding among each other that they would mutually resist any aggression from the central powers. I have not heard of any other name that applied to the central powers prior to WW I.

The Triple Entente: Britain, Russia & France-- at the end the US joins to help the Triple Entente, but is not a member.The Triple Alliance: Germany, Austria-Hungary, Italy (Italy actually flip flops during the war)

They were against the Germans and their allies called the Triple Alliance. US was with the British and their allies-Triple Entente
Britain in WW I was part of an alliance known as the Triple Entente (entente is French for understanding) which also included France and Russia. The US later joined the alliance, helping to defeat the opposed alliance which was known as the Central Powers.

Actually, the US was not an official member of the Triple Entente. The Triple Entente consisted of Great Britain, France and Russia. Other countries such as the US, Spain, Japan, etc. were considered Associated Powers. The US declared war on April 6, 1917.
France was a member of the Triple Entente, while Italy was a member of the Triple Alliance, with Germany and Austria-Hungary.
1. Alliance between France and Russia - 1892 2. Britain and France - 1904. 3. Britain and Russia - 1907. #1 was an alliance, #2 and #3 were loose and rather vague "understandings". The expression "Triple Entente" is a nickname. There was no single overarching alliance between Britain, France and Russia. The weaknesses of Russia in the Russo-Japanese-War of 1904-05 led military experts in Britain to doubt its status as a great power, and made British politicians reassess the British position in relation to the balance of power - in other words, led to Britain to becoming more pro-French in international affairs. Obviously, Britain was also antagonized by German naval rivalry.
