By 1907, the great powers of Europe had formed two major rival alliances: the Triple Alliance and the Triple Entente. The Triple Alliance included Germany, Austria-Hungary, and Italy, while the Triple Entente was made up of France, Russia, and Great Britain. These alliances were rooted in mutual defense agreements and aimed to counterbalance each other's influence, contributing to the tensions that ultimately led to World War I.
Britain, France and Russia formed the Triple Entente in 1907 to settle colonial disputes. It also helped to counter the military threat from the Triple Alliance.
In 1907, Russia and Britain reached an agreement known as the Anglo-Russian Entente, which established spheres of influence in Central Asia and Persia (modern-day Iran). This agreement aimed to resolve colonial rivalries and tensions in the region, particularly concerning Afghanistan and Persia. It marked a significant step in improving relations between the two powers, facilitating cooperation against common threats, especially from Germany. The entente ultimately laid the groundwork for their later alliance in World War I.

The formation of the Triple Entente emerged from a series of diplomatic agreements between France, Russia, and Britain in the early 20th century, primarily as a counterbalance to the growing power of the Triple Alliance (Germany, Austria-Hungary, and Italy). France and Russia formalized their alliance in 1894, driven by mutual concerns over German militarism. Britain, initially pursuing a policy of splendid isolation, shifted its stance due to rising tensions in Europe, particularly after the naval arms race with Germany. This culminated in the Entente Cordiale with France in 1904 and the Anglo-Russian Entente in 1907, solidifying the informal alliance against their common rivals.

Between 1872 and 1907, Europe experienced the formation of two major rival alliance systems: the Triple Alliance and the Triple Entente. The Triple Alliance, established in 1882, comprised Germany, Austria-Hungary, and Italy, aiming to counterbalance the influence of France and Russia. In response, the Triple Entente, formed between France, Russia, and Britain by 1907, sought to promote mutual support against the threats posed by the Triple Alliance. These alliances contributed to the tensions that eventually led to World War I.

1907
The Triple Entente began in 1907. The Triple Alliance was signed in 1882.
The alliance system was created by Otto von Bismark and was first used in 1879 in the "Dual Alliance", the alliance of Germany and Austria-Hungary. It inspired the Franco-Russian Alliance in 1892, which later led to the Entente Cordiale, a set of agreements between Britain and France in 1904, and the Anglo-Russian Entente that was an accord between Russia and Britain. All of these treaties led to the formation of the Triple Alliance(including Italy) in 1882, and the Triple Entente in 1907. -Sangel99
The Triple Entente was an alliance formed on August 31, 1907, between the Russian, France and the United Kingdom after the signing of the Anglo-Russian Entente. This alliance was a response to the Triple Alliance of Germany, Italy, and Austria-Hungary.
The French had a secret alliance with the Russians that was signed in 1892 to ensure against the further the rise of Otto von Bismark and a increasing militaristic and imperialistic Germany. The alliance was called the Franco-Russian Alliance and was to remain in place so long as the Triple Alliance (Germany, Italy and Austria-Hungary) was still active. But in 1907 France and Russia allied with Great Britain, and formed the Triple Entente. Austria-Hungary was not in the same alliance as Italy you dum butt.
An Entente is a kind of alliance that is an agreement not to attack each other. The Triple Entente was made up of France, Britain and Russia. The Entente Powers fought the Central Powers during World War I.
The major European nations, or Great Powers, were searching for alliances from 1870 until 1914. This was to assure national safety as well as expanding a nation's power. It started with the Three Emperors' League (Germany, Russia, and Austria-Hungary), 1873. Then came the Dual Alliance (Germany and Austria-Hungary), 1879. Then came the Triple Alliance (Germany, Austria-Hungary, and Italy), 1882. Then came the Franco-Russian Alliance (Russia and France), 1892. Then came the secret Franco-Italian Alliance (France and Italy), 1902. Then came the Triple Entente (Russia, France, and Great Britain), 1907. All these alliances lead to the escalation of World War I.
The Triple Entente was the name given to the alliance between Great Britain, the French Third Republic, and Russia after the signing of the Anglo-Russian Entente in 1907.
The Triple Alliance, also known as the Central Powers, grew out of the close relationship that developed between the leaders of Germany and Austria-Hungary during the last tree decades of the the 19th century. In 1879, the governments of the two empires formed the Dual Alliance, a defensive pact that ensured reciprocal protection from a Russian attack and neutrality in case of an attack from any other power. In 1882, Italy joined the pact, creating the Triple Alliance. The Triple Entente, referred to as the Allies, originated in a series of agreements between Britain and France (1904) and between Britain and Russia (1907) that aimed to resolve colonial disputes. Between 1907 and 1914 cooperation between the leaders of Britain, France, and Russia led to the signing of a military pact in the summer of 1914.
