Before World War 1, there were two groups of countries in Europe among the major powers, those countries that desired to control the course of international affairs. The Triple Alliance was made up of Germany, Austria-Hungary and Italy, but after the war started in 1914 Italy remained neutral and the other two were called the Central Powers, later joined by Bulgaria and Turkey. The other group began with Britain and France forming an Entente Cordiale, or cordial understanding (something less formal than a treaty), and when the Russian Empire joined them it was known as the Triple Entente. When the triple entente went to war in defense of Serbia and Belgium, they were called the Allied Powers. After a secret treaty was made, Italy joined them in 1915. The reason why alliances are formed is the awareness of two or more countries that they share similar interests and perceive other countries as common enemies.
