Central Powers
The original alliance of England, France, and Russia, which existed before WW I and before the US joined the alliance, was called the Triple Entente, which is derived from the French word meaning understanding. These three nations, in other words, had an understanding among each other that they would mutually resist any aggression from the central powers. I have not heard of any other name that applied to the central powers prior to WW I.
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.
The Triple Alliance, formed in 1882, consisted of Germany, Austria-Hungary, and Italy. Countries that were not part of this alliance included France, Russia, and the United Kingdom, which were aligned in the opposing Triple Entente. Other nations, such as Japan and the United States, also did not belong to the Triple Alliance.
