The "Entente Cordiale" of 1904 was an agreement between these two countries.
France and Russia
Germany and France
England and France
Germany and Austria
England and France. The original purpose of the Anglo-French "understanding" ("entente") was to resolve areas of disagreement, mainly in Africa. This and the Anglo-Russian "extension" to France’s ally, Russia, in 1907 were not originally military alliances in the strict sense.
