Why do you think the Triple Alliance was also called the Central Powers?

Well, there were two alliances: triple entrente and the triple alliances. I think the reason between the triple entrente and the central powers may well be that the countries that signed an alliance in the triple entrente, could be central countries or have central empires.

∙ 9y agoPrior to and during World War I, Germany and Austria were known as the Central Powers due to their geographic location. Both countries (as well as their eventual ally, the Ottoman Empire) were roughly located in the center of Europe and, what is more, in-between hostile nations to the east and the west.
