The Triple Entente (Russia, France, and later on Britain) and the Triple Alliance (Germany, Austria - Hungary, and Italy although Italy switches alliances later in the war to the Triple Entente)
There were two alliances. The triple Alliance consisting of Germany, Italy (later on Italy changed sides) and Austria-Hungary. The second alliance was The Triple Entente which consisted of Britain, France and Russia (although Russia quit the war later on).
Otto von Bismarck sought alliances because he wanted help in isolating France. The alliance was later referred to at the Triple Alliance and was made up of Germany, Italy, and Austria-Hungary.
In 1900, the two opposing alliances were primarily represented by the Triple Alliance and the Triple Entente. The Triple Alliance consisted of Germany, Austria-Hungary, and Italy, while the Triple Entente was formed by France, Russia, and Great Britain. These alliances set the stage for the geopolitical tensions that would later contribute to the outbreak of World War I.
Otto Bismarck (later von Bismarck), the first-ever German chancellor, he became chancellor of a unified Germany in 1871. He was already chancellor of the most powerful state in the German Confederation (1815-1866).
There were the Central Powers and the Triple Entente, later called the allies.
