I think he meant WWI. Which would be in early September, 1914... I forget the exact date.

Probably because he said the ALLIANCE and not the ALLIES

Yes. But also, if Angrist is talking about WWI, then his question was wrong, because the Triple Alliance was actually Germany, Austria-Hungary, and Italy. Britain, France, and Russia were called the "Triple Entente".

Actually, there was no "Alliance" before WWII. When Germany invaded Poland in Sep 1939, it was Britain that declared war (and later its former colonies), not an "Alliance". France, USA, and the Soviet Union did nothing, later on France was taken over, Germany invaded the Soviet Union, and the US stepped in after Pearl Harbor was bombed.
