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.[1] An example of an entente is Entente Cordiale between France and United Kingdom.[1]
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.[1] 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 and defensive pacts, or states with no alliance with them.[1]
