The First World War had a devastating effect on the world and caused unprecedented destruction. With reference to the First World War, answer the following questions:
Name the signatory countries of the Triple Entente.
Topic: The Triple Entente
Answer
The Triple Entente of 1907 was formed by FRANCE, RUSSIA and ENGLAND (Great Britain).
Two marks for three names, so give them precisely and add the year if you can. Do not confuse it with the Triple Alliance of 1882 — Germany, Austria-Hungary and Italy. The memory hook: Britain and France are always in the ENTENTE, Germany and Austria-Hungary always in the ALLIANCE. Worth one line: the division of Europe into these two armed camps meant that a quarrel between any two powers would drag in all the rest, which is why the alliance system is counted among the causes of the war.
