The Triple Entente was the alliance formed in 1907 between the United Kingdom, France and Russia after the signing of the Anglo-Russian Entente.

With the addition of Italy in 1915, the Triple Entente was the force that opposed the Central Powers during World War I.

The Entente Cordiale, an agreement between Britain and France, resolved a number of longstanding colonial disputes, and established a diplomatic understanding between the two countries, which however stopped short of binding either to any military undertaking in support of the other.
Germany, concerned over the signing of the entente agreement, determined to test its practical strength by provoking a crisis in Morocco in 1905, leading to the Algeciras Conference (1906).
The entente was extended in 1907 to include Russia, culminating in the alliance that formally took on the Central Powers during World War One.

The Entente alliance sprang from the military concerns of Germany's neighbours to east and west - Russia and France; accordingly in 1894 they signed an alliance based upon fears of growing German power.
Thus while the Entente Alliance was by no means a formal alliance, inter-twining treaties effectively rendered it thus.
The financial cost of the war is said to have amounted to almost $38 billion for Germany alone; Britain spent $35 billion, France $24 billion, Russia $22 billion, USA $22 billion and Austria-Hungary $20 billion.

As far back as 1993, Turkish officials were already acknowledging counterterrorism coordination to be a principal focus of the emerging Israeli-Turkish entente.
For Israel, Turkey, and India, a tripartite entente is in many ways the logical next step in their respective strategic partnerships.
In fact, the prime beneficiary of such an entente would be the United States, since the triad would provide a powerful counterweight to the very states and movements that wish to undermine the U.S. position between the Mediterranean and the Indian Ocean: Iran, Iraq, Syria, and the Islamist internationale.

The term ‘Entente Cordiale’, rather than the English ‘Friendly Understanding’, was used a century ago because the language of diplomacy was still partly French.
At first it was merely a convention, with two declarations signed in London on 8 April 1904, but it began the end of colonial rivalry and paved the way for an Anglo-French alliance in two World Wars and beyond.

The Triple Entente was the alliance among Great Britain, France, and Russia, which was formed by British King Edward VII between 1904 and 1907 and which London used for the purpose of unleashing World War I and undermining modern European civilization.
The main thrust of the new Triple Entente is to block Clinton's announced German-American partnership for the economic development of Russia and other countries of central and eastern Europe.
A more serious obstacle was posed by Kaiser Wilhelm II of Germany, not because he was the bloodthirsty monster of Entente propaganda, but rather because he was a pathetic fool obsessed with his personal inferiority complex in regard to the British monarchy.

A-historical alliances are possible, just so long as three nations form an "entente" (alliance) and the remaining two form, well, "the enemy".
The classic, basic, economic building blocks of the RTS genre are available (iron, oil, gold, electrical power, etc.), although each country's initial resource pool will be somewhat skewed, in the interests of gameplay.

For some years before 1914, the relations between Italy and its allies had been strained, and as a result Italy did not carry out its obligations under the Triple Alliance by entering the war on the side of Germany and Austria-Hungary.
Instead, after considerable secret negotiation in which the Triple Entente powers promised Italy substantial territorial gains, in 1915 Italy declared war upon its former allies, thereby openly dissolving the Triple Alliance.
