Triple Entente
A+
The first World War became a general conflict because of the web of alliances among the countries of Europe. Initially there was a Triple Entente of France, Britain and Russia and a Triple Alliance between Germany, Austro-Hungary and Italy. Russia also had alliances with Serbia and other Balkan countries. The assassination of archduke Ferdinand in Sarajevo caused the Austrians to declare war on the Serbians. The Serbians then called upon their allies the Russians to declare war on the Austrians, which they did. The Austrians called upon their allies the Germans who then declared war on the Russians. The Italians reneged on their alliance treaty. Meanwhile the French and British declared war against the Germans and Austrians. So the initial setup was British, French, Serbs and Russians against the Austrians and Germans. Later, the Ottomans (Turks) joined the Germans because they would join any side the Russians weren't on. Ultimately other countries joined the Anglo-French alliance, including the Italians, the Japanese and the Americans. The Russians dropped out after the Revolution in 1917.

One was called the Triple Entente (the British, French and Russian one) and one was Triple Alliance (the Germans, Austrian and Italien)
The "entente" was actually a prewar COMMERCIAL, NOT MILITARY treaty between Britain and France. The French and the Russians had a Treaty of Military Alliance from 1892. This was in response to the Triple Alliance, of Germany, Austro-Hungaria, and Italy, created in 1882. Because Russia was an ally of France, and Britain was also in the war on the side of France (having entered the war over German violation of Belgian neutrality though, and not because of any alliance with France), the whole coalition was sometimes called "the Entente Powers".
The war was named after the enemies of the British: the French and the Indians.
No, the British, French, and Russians did not form an alliance called the Central Powers. The Central Powers refers to the alliance of Germany, Austria-Hungary, and the Ottoman Empire during World War I. The British, French, and Russians were part of the opposing alliance known as the Allies.
