However, Italy had joined hastily in 1882, had claims on Austrian territory and did not fight alongside Austria-Hungary and Germany in World War 1. In fact, in 1915 it entered th war on the side of the Entente. For more info on the tripple alliance, check out http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Triple_Alliance_(1882)
The members of the Triple Entente (Great Britain, France, Russia) were called the Allies. The Triple Alliance (Germany, Austro-Hungary, Italy) changed its name to Central Powers because Italy entered the war on the side of the Allies in 1915.
In world war one there were two sides: The Triple Entente contained The United Kingdom, Russia and France and The Triple Alliance contained Germany, Austria-Hungary and Italy. However, later on in the war, in April 1915 Italy changed sides to the Triple Entente.
During World War I, no countries actively supported both sides of the conflict at any time; that is, no country switched sides at some point during the war. While Italy began the war as a "paper ally" of the Central Powers, it did not actively contribute military assistance of any kind to their cause. In 1915, it became a combatant on the side of the Triple Alliance.
