The Triple Pact (Also translated as the Triple Pacte or Mikuni Kyōtei) and popularly known as the Three-Power Alliance was a military coalition which fought in the Great War against Marquesan and its allies. Its principle members were the Kāichrén Democratic State, Anagonia, and after 1941 Meridon. The members were unified by shared grievances against Marquesan, and in the case of the KDS and Anagonia by a shared desire to decolonize or otherwise open the East Hiakemirian region, to allow for economic and political utilization of such by both powers. Outside of this shared goal they possessed lacking ideological or political collaboration, especially following the rise of Ogata Katsu to the role of Kantoku in the KDS.
The Triple Pact was born from existing secret treaties between Anagonia and the KDS, which pledged mutual alliance in the event of a declaration of war by Marquesan upon either of the two powers. These secret treaties agreed to split the overseas territories or allies of Marquesan and its likely allies (Aureumterra especially) amongst the two powers, with the KDS to seize the territory of the then-extant Janpian Empire and Marquesan possessions in East Hiakemiria, while Anagonia would reclaim its lost island of Bekershafen and other Aureumterran islands within the Anagonian Ocean. Meridon would join the alliance as a result of Marquesan targeting of their shipping, while the Republic of Arcadie and Joseon would join in the wake of such to attempt to gain territorial boons. Before Meridon's enterance into the war, the Triple Pact was more popularly known as the Anagonian-Kāichrén Rikai (or the Anagonian-Kāichrén Understanding).
The Triple Pact would be abolished with the end of the Great War, due to diverging geopolitical interests on the part of all three members and the beginning of the Kāichrén Civil War and the murder of Meridonian troops which occurred during such. To some extent, international organizations such as the now-defunct International Coalition of Nations or the Pan-Regional Multilateral Partnership have been considered to inherit some of the ideals of the Triple Pact.
