How it's used
Historians use this term specifically to refer to the military alliance formed by France, Britain, and Russia before the war, which later expanded to include other nations. It is strictly a historical term and is never used to describe modern political or military alliances. When discussing the outcome of the war, it is common to contrast this group with the Central Powers, known as 同盟國.
Examples
The Entente Powers eventually won the First World War.
