In the First World War, Great Britain, France, and Russia fought against Germany. Germany was part of an alliance called the Central Powers.
Another name for the Triple Alliance is the Central Powers.
They were part of the alliance known as the Central Powers. When Archduke Franz Ferdinand was assassinated by the Black Hand Gang, who worked for Serbia, Ferdinand's uncle, Emperor of Austria, declared war on Serbia along with Germany and several other countries. This was what started the first World War.
Warsaw Pact
Warsaw Pact.
During the 1930s and continuing into World War II, Germany and Italy were allied under the name of the "Axis", referring to their central geographic position in Europe and, in their view, their central position in world supremacy. Later, Japan also joined this "Axis" alliance.
In world war 1 the central powers were Germany, Austria-Hungary and the Ottoman empire. Italy was part of that alliance but because it switched sides before the name changed from the triple alliance to the central powers it is generally not considered a central power.
The alliance between Hitler, Mussolini, and Kurusu - Japan's foreign ambassador - was formed on September 27, 1940. It came to be known as the Tripartite (German; Literally; "Three Party") Pact. Other names included were: Tripartite Alliance Axis Pact Three-Way Pact
