Best Answer

The Central Powers was formed during WWI. It was a military alliance comprised of Germany, Austria-Hungary, Bulgaria, and the Ottoman Empire. It was formed after Italy dropped out of the Triple Alliance (Germany, Austria-Hungary, Italy) in 1915. Italy joined forces with the Triple Entente (Britain, France, and Russia) and began fighting for the Allies. Russia eventually made a pact with Germany to not attack one another, in order to put down the Russian Revolution. The USA joined the Great War on the Allied side in 1917. This heavy influx of troops and weapons led to an armistice signed on the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month in 1918, November 11th, once called Armistice Day is now Veterans Day.
