The Entente

The Triple Entente was a military alliance between France and the Russian Empire to, which draws it origins back to 1884. The two powers cemented both formal and informal alliances between the United Kingdom and Japan. When war broke out in Europe in 1914 France was obligated to help the Russian Empire in their war, The United Kingdom joined the war to defend Belgium sovereignty.

In 1916 the United States declared war on the German Empire as a reaction to German unrestricted submarine warfare.

Although not officially recognised as member states, the Entente had many associated states that fought against the Central Powers during the Great War.
