What were the 2 groups alliances before the war started?

Before World War I began, the two main alliances were the Triple Entente and the Triple Alliance. The Triple Entente consisted of France, Russia, and Great Britain, formed in response to the perceived threat of the Triple Alliance. The Triple Alliance included Germany, Austria-Hungary, and Italy, which sought to counterbalance the power of the Entente. These alliances created a web of commitments that contributed to the escalation of the conflict following the assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand in 1914.
