Entente

Entente, meaning a diplomatic "understanding", may refer to a number of agreements:

History

  • The Entente cordiale, 1904 between France and the United Kingdom
  • The Anglo-Russian Entente, 1907 between the United Kingdom and Russia
  • The Triple Entente, an alliance between Great Britain, France and Russia formed by the two aforementioned Ententes
    • Allies of World War I, with the Triple Entente countries as the main participants, sometimes referred to as "The Entente", "The Entente Powers", or "The Entente Forces"
  • Allies of World War I, with the Triple Entente countries as the main participants, sometimes referred to as "The Entente", "The Entente Powers", or "The Entente Forces"
  • The Little Entente, 1920 to 1938 between Czechoslovakia, Romania, and the Kingdom of Yugoslavia
  • The Balkan Entente, 1934 to 1938 between Greece, Turkey, Romania and Yugoslavia
  • The Baltic Entente, 1934 to 1939 between Lithuania, Latvia, and Estonia
  • The Conseil de l'Entente, 1959 between Côte d'Ivoire, Burkina Faso, Benin, Niger, and (in 1966) Togo
  • Triple Entente

    The Triple Entente (from French entente [ɑ̃tɑ̃t] "friendship, understanding, agreement") was the understanding linking the Russian Empire, the French Third Republic, and the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland after the signing of the Anglo-Russian Entente on 31 August 1907. The understanding between the three powers, supplemented by agreements with Japan and Portugal, constituted a powerful counterweight to the Triple Alliance of Germany, Austria-Hungary and the Kingdom of Italy, though Italy did not side with Germany and Austria during World War I, and joined the Entente Powers instead.

    Historians continue to debate the importance of the alliance system in igniting the Great War. At the start of World War I in 1914, all three Triple Entente members entered it as Allies against the Central Powers, Germany and Austria-Hungary.

    Origins

    French isolation

    Russia had previously been a member of the League of the Three Emperors with Austria-Hungary and Germany, an alliance established in 1873 between Tsar Alexander II, Emperor Franz Joseph I and Kaiser Wilhelm I. The alliance was part of the German Chancellor Otto von Bismarck′s plan to isolate France diplomatically; he feared France had revanchist aspirations and might try to regain her 1871 losses, and to fight against progressive sentiments the conservative rulers found unsettling, such as the First International.

    Entente (type of alliance)

    Entente - a type of treaty or military alliance where the signatories promise to consult each other or to cooperate with each other in case of a crisis or military action. An example of an entente is Entente Cordiale between France and United Kingdom.

    It has been found that signatories of ententes are less likely to assist each other during wars than signatories of defense pacts, but more likely than signatories of non-aggression pacts. It has also been found that great powers are less likely to start wars against their partners in ententes than against their partners in non-aggression pacts and defense pacts, or states with no alliance with them.

    Ay Amor

    by: Andy Andy

    Quisiera decirte
    antes de verte partir
    escucha un momento
    quiero hablarte
    como son las cosas
    tu has vivido para mi
    pero no supe valorarte
    perdona te he fallado
    lo tengo que admitir
    y te quiero pedir.
    ay amor, ay amor
    no medeje morir
    te pido una oportunidad
    no te vas arrepentir
    ay amor, ay amor
    di que no es el final
    vuelveme a querer
    dame una oportunidad.
    perdona mi vida
    yo nunca te quise herir
    nunca te quise herir
    lamento decirte fue una trampa
    sabes que te amo y te necesito aqui
    no me dejes solo aqui en la nada
    perdona te he fallado
    lo tengo que admitir
    y te quiero pedir.
    ay amor, ay amor
    no medeje morir
    te pido una oportunidad
    no te vas arrepentir
    ay amor, ay amor
    di que no es el final
    vuelveme a querer
    dame una oportunidad
    caer en sus brazos fue una trampa
    fue una trampa
    en ese instante pensaba en ti
    pensaba en ti
    haria lo que fuera por recuperarte
