Why did Germany feel threatened by the Triple Alliance?

Germany was part of the Triple Alliance. So it didn't feel threatened by it. Perhaps you meant the Triple Entente, which was the opposing alliance made of Great Britain, France, and Russia. Before the Triple Alliance and Triple Entente, there was the Dual Alliance (Germany and Austria-Hungary) and the Franco-Russian Alliance (France and Russia). However, even more prior to this, there the Three Emperor's League, which was an alliance between Germany, Austria-Hungary, and Russia. However, Austria and Russia have been feuding over the Balkans, which destroyed the alliance. Once France saw that Russia was without an alliance, it jumped at the chance to align with Russia. Germany saw this as a threat because they wanted to avoid a two front war (a war on the west and east). So to do this, they looked for another country to join their Dual Alliance with Austria. This spot went to Italy, who was looking to assure itself as a Great Power and protect its borders. Now, the only Great Power without an alliance was Great Britain. It seemed certain that Great Britain would join Germany as well because the leaders of both countries were heavily related (at this point, Russia's czar was also related to Germany's kaiser and GB's king and was somewhat at peace with Germany but was uncertain about GB. You will know why later). However, Kaiser Wilhelm II wanted to assure Germany was the most powerful European country, so he wanted Germany to have just as powerful a navy as Great Britain. This was considered a threat to Great Britain and ultimately dissolved the chances of the two countries aligning. Again, France jumped at the chance to align with a powerful country. However, Great Britain would also have to align with Russia, which Russia didn't want to do. Russia just lost the Russo-Japanese War, and Great Britain and Japan were allies. However, France was able to reassure Russia and ultimately Great Britain ended up joining France and Russia forming the Triple Entente. Due to all this, Germany felt threatened by the Triple Entente because it proposed the possibility that Germany will have to fight a two front war. (However, it ended up being a stalemate war on the west as the Russians were eventually defeated and opted out of WWI due to an internal revolution).
