Aliados (Primera Guerra Mundial)

Bando opuesto a las Potencias Centrales en la Primera Guerra Mundial

En el contexto de la Primera Guerra Mundial, se entiende por Aliados a los países en conflicto con las Potencias Centrales. El bloque aliado tuvo su origen en la Triple Entente, integrada por: Francia, el Reino Unido y Rusia. En sentido estricto comenzaron a llamarse así tras la firma del Pacto de Londres, el 5 de septiembre de 1914, por el que los beligerantes se comprometían a no firmar una paz por separado.[1]
