<span>In Europe during the year 1914, two big alliances opposing
each other were formed. Ultimately these two alliances were responsible for the
starting of World War I. The two alliances were The Triple alliance and The Triple
Entente. The Triple Alliance was formed between the countries Germany, Austria-Hungary
and Italy. The Triple Entente was formed between the countries France, Great
Britain and Russia. Germany was a country that joined the Triple Alliance in
the later parts. These alliances were formed to protect each other if attacked
by the other alliance. </span>
