Detailed explanation-1: -Germany, Austria-Hungary and Italy were known as the Triple Alliance. There was also the Triple Entente, an alliance between France, Great Britain and Russia. Alliances helped cause the war because nations would be against each other and they would also want to be dominant.
Detailed explanation-2: -As was the Triple Alliance, the Triple Entente was primarily a pact of mutual self-defense: Each country pledged to come to the military aid of another if that country were attacked. Thus it was that Russia, attacked by Austria-Hungary in 1914, called on Great Britain and France to enter the war.
Detailed explanation-3: -The Triple Entente was made up of France, Britain, and Russia. The Triple Alliance was originally composed of Germany, Austria–Hungary, and Italy, but Italy remained neutral in 1914. As the war progressed, each coalition added new members.
Detailed explanation-4: -It developed from the Franco-Russian alliance that gradually developed and was formalized in 1894, the Anglo-French Entente Cordiale of 1904, and an Anglo-Russian agreement of 1907, which brought the Triple Entente into existence.
