Best Answer

Five empires went into the war, and only one came out - the British Empire. Falling as a result of the war were the German Empire (the Hohenzollerns), the Austro-Hungarian Empire (the Hapsburgs, after more then 400 years), the Russian Empire (the Romanovs, after more then 250 years) and the Ottoman Empire (the Turks, after more than 450 years). In particular the fall of the Ottoman Empire, combined with the end of the Calpihate, resonates today in the continuing turmoil of the Middle East and the Muslim world.
