In WW I the two major alliances were the Allies (or Allied Forces) and the Central Powers.
The Alliance system created tension between the great powers by entrenching rivalries and fostering an atmosphere of distrust. Countries formed military alliances to bolster their security, but this often led to a perception of encirclement and aggression among rival powers.

This web of alliances ultimately contributed to the outbreak of World War I, as nations were bound to support their allies regardless of the circumstances.
