The two main alliance systems before World War I were the Triple Alliance and the Triple Entente. The Triple Alliance consisted of Germany, Austria-Hungary, and Italy, while the Triple Entente included France, Russia, and the United Kingdom. These alliances created a framework for military support and contributed to the escalation of tensions leading to the war.
The Triple Entente consisted of France, Russia, and the United Kingdom, forming an alliance before World War I. In contrast, the Triple Alliance included Germany, Austria-Hungary, and Italy, although Italy later switched sides during the war. These alliances were significant in shaping the conflict and dynamics of World War I.
It is true that Italy secretly left the Triple Alliance and joined the Triple Entente shortly before World War I. The Triple Entente was an alliance among France, Britain and Russia after the signing of the Anglo-Russian Entente of 1907.
The three countries in the Triple Alliance were Germany, then Austria-Hungary and Italy, this alliance lasted from 1882 till the beginning of World War I.Great Britain (A+ Anywhere)
Before World War I began, the two main alliances were the Triple Entente and the Triple Alliance. The Triple Entente consisted of France, Russia, and Great Britain, formed in response to the perceived threat of the Triple Alliance. The Triple Alliance included Germany, Austria-Hungary, and Italy, which sought to counterbalance the power of the Entente. These alliances created a web of commitments that contributed to the escalation of the conflict following the assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand in 1914.

The Triple Entente was an alliance formed before World War I, consisting of three major powers: France, Russia, and the United Kingdom. Established in response to the growing threat posed by the Triple Alliance of Germany, Austria-Hungary, and Italy, the Entente aimed to ensure mutual support and cooperation among its members. This alliance played a crucial role in the dynamics of the war, as it united these countries against the Central Powers. The Triple Entente was significant in shaping the geopolitical landscape of early 20th-century Europe.
In the period before World War I, there were two alliances : the Triple Entente of Great Britain, France and Russia, and the Triple Alliance (Central powers) of Austria-Hungary, Germany and Italy.
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 central powers were known before the war as the triple alliance and before the war the allies were known as the triple entente
Italy was first part of the triple alliance (Germanys side) but late change to the triple entente (Britains side) just before the end of the war
Before WWI Germany made the triple-alliance with Italy and Austria-Hungary. Bulgaria and the Ottoman empire joined the alliance, against the Entente with UK, France and Russia. Other countries joined the Entente too. When Italy swapped sides in 1915, the remainder of the German war alliance was called the central powers. In WWII the term "the allies" was used about those fighting with the UK against the Axis powers (Germany, Italy and Japan, with their collaborators).
