The reason the Great War became a world war was because of the colonies. Soldiers came from all over the British Commonwealth (India, Australia and New Zealand, Canada), and French colonies from North Africa and Senegal went to the Western Front to fight. Fighting took place in the East German colonies in Africa, and in Saudi Arabia against the Ottoman Turkish German allies, and in Mesopotamia, for the oil reserves. Some naval actions occurred to close off supplies from colonies in the Pacific. [German colonies went to Japan after the war.] Without colonies, the fighting might have been confined to Europe proper.
