Allies
The Triple Alliance was composed of France, Britain, and Russia.
Officially, it was the German invasion of Belgium. Britain and Belgium had been allies for around 70 years when the war began. Additionally, since France and Germany had been enemies in the past, their border was heavily fortified on both sides, but Belgium's borders were not as heavily fortified. When the war began, Germany asked Belgium for permission to go through their territory; Belgium said no. So Germany did it anyway and conquered Belgium. When Germany launched their invasion, Britain honored their old alliance with Belgium and officially declared war.
Germany invaded Belgium in the later 1914 to early 1915
Belgium was invaded by Germany on 4 August 1914, despite the fact that its neutrality was guaranteed by Britain, France and Germany. Since 1906 Germany had only one plan (the Schlieffen Plan) for a future war with France and that involved marching through Belgium. Incidentally, the original version of the plan involved marching through the Netherlands, too, but it was revised after Schlieffen's retirement.
his foreign alliance was with both France and Britain. He traded with both countries equally, though both Frace and Britain canstantly got into conflicts.
The countries that were included in the Triple Entente, or Allies, were Britain, Russia, and France. In April of 1915, Italy switched its allegiance from the Triple Alliance to the Triple Entente. Other neutral countries such as Portugal, Belgium, Romania, and Greece later joined the Triple Entente as the war progressed.
Yes Great Britain was an ally to France and Belgium.
There were no other alliances apart from the Triple Entente - Britain, France & Russia and the Triple Alliance - Germany, Austria-Hungary & Italy. They are were the only alliances involved not true Britain had an Alliance with Belgium and Russia had an Alliance with Serbia
The Triple Alliance was not actually our allies unless you're German, Italian, etc. The Triple Alliance was Germany, Italy, and Austria-Hungary. The Triple Entente was Britain, France, and Russia.
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.
They went to war because when the Great War broke out in August 1914, Russia and France were lined up against Germany and Austria-Hungary. Each of these countries belonged to an alliance that committed them to supporting their alliance partner.=Britain was not committed to joining in the war in 1914, but did so. One of the reasons was the Treaty of London of 1839. This treaty committed Britain to protecting Belgium. But was Britain really protecting Belgium or was Britain protecting itself?=
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.
