The triple alliance all started when Germany, austria-hungry and Italy all decided to put away their conflicts with each other and to join as one power to can power over the triple Entente. theses three countries came together and signed a document that say that they will give support and military equipment in case of war. The triple Entente were in a war against the triple alliance. the triple alliance members wanted to gain more control over land. Italy wanted more land in Greece, Austria-Hungry wanted the Balkans land and Germany just wanted to expanded and gain more power through out the war. Later during the war Italy didn't full trust austria-hungry and made a secret alliance with France. After the two sides made a treaty allowing each other to take other neutral territory with out conflict from the other alliances. The other alliance was between Great Britain, France and Russia but later Italy and toward  the end of the war the United States joined, this alliance was called the Triple Entente. The triple alliance was between the triple entente and shared a boarder. Russia and Germany shared and France and Austria-Hungry shared a boarder. This was a very bad spot for them to be and Great Britain was not to far away either. Great Britain had a very strong navy and Germany had a board to the ocean.
