The Triple Entente was an agreement among Russia, Britain, and France. The arrangement originated after Germany failed to reach an agreement with Russia. Russia then sought stability by entering into an alliance with France. The purpose being to counter the threat posed by the Triple Alliance.
In 1891, snubbed by Germany, Russia sought other allies. Russia entered into an agreement with France which was spelt out in the 1892 Franco-Russian Military Convention. The terms were loose, but tied both nations into supporting each other should they be involved in a war. It was designed to counter the Triple Alliance (Wilde n.d. para. 8)
Britain, despite a history of cooperation with Prussia, chose to change in an alliance with Russia and France. The decision was made, in part, as a response to German militarism and increased naval spending. (Wilde, n.d.)
