Best Answer

At the outbreak of WWI, it was the triple alliance with Germany, Austria-Hungary and Italy against the triple Entente, with France, UK commonwealth and Russia.

Later Italy dropped out to join the Entente and Bulgaria and the Ottomans joined, and this alliance came to be called the central powers.

The Entente kept its name although it wasn't triple anymore when Japan, Romania, Serbia and others joined.
