The Entente was in itself a defensive alliance. The Triple Alliance formed in 1882 offered an ominous threat, thus the three nations bonded together in a compact designed to protect them from encroachment or attack. The UK already had the Entente Cordiale with France since 1904, while France had concluded the Franco-Russian Alliance in 1894. The Triple Entente (" entente"-French for "agreement") was the alliance formed in 1907 among the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland, the French Third Republic and the Russian Empire after the signing of the Anglo-Russian Entente. The Central Powers are depicted in puce, the Allies in grey and neutral countries in yellow.
