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).
Britain had an alliance with Belgium. Belgium was invaded by Germany in order to advance on France. Therefore, Britain declared war on Germany and joined the Allied Powers. However, this was mainly an excuse to go to war. Really, Britain was opposed to Germany for many years since Germany started expanding itself as an overseas empire in 1885, which made Britain feel threatened. When World War I broke out, Britain jumped at the opportunity to fight Germany.
Indirectly, perhaps. Canada was (and still is) an ally of Great Britain, and when they declared war on Germany in 1939, Canada was called to action along with other allies*. * - Other Allies of Great Britain included: -Australia -British India -New Zealand -France There were several others; the above were ones I could think of off the top of my head. Feel free to expand the list.
this is because Germany is in the middle of France and Russia and so if they attacked eother one of them they will not stand a chance against both of them because they will be attacked from both sides
To compete with the other empire building countries, specifically Germany, Spain and Great Britain, to a lessor extent Japan and France.

they not like it

No, they are two different cities Yes they are two different cities, but unlike Americans, we do not feel we have to add the Gt.Britain, because the places that are in the USA are named after our cities and towns. likewise we do not say Paris , France, because there is only one original and that is in France.
Disappointed.

they wanted them to avoid war!
Britain, being a country, has no feelings. The British however were, on the whole, quite happy about the matter.
I don't think that particular amalgamation has ever been proposed.
