They were called the Allies:


The two opposing groups that fought in World War I were the Central Powers (Germany, Austria-Hungary, Bulgaria, and Turkey) and the Allies, an alliance that grew from the three members of the Triple Entente (Britain and the British Empire, France, and Russia) to incorporate 27 Allied and Associated powers, including Italy and, towards the end of the war, the USA.

Who were we fighting against in world war 1?

It is hard to answer the question since we don't know who you are or what country you are from. World War I started in August 1914 and ended in November 1918. The war was the Allies fighting against the Central Powers. The major countries in the Allies were Great Britain (including India, Canada, Australia and New Zealand), France, Russia (until March 1918), the USA (starting in April 1917), and Italy (starting in April 1915). The Central Powers were the German Empire, the Austro-Hungarian Empire, the Ottoman Empire, and Bulgaria.


Who fought against who in World War 1?

It was allied powers vs. central powers It started off as the Germans (central powers) fighting the Russians and the French (both allied powers). Britain jumped in as another allied power, along with Prussia, Austro-Hungary, and Bulgaria jumping in as central powers. Eventually, Russia dropped out via the treaty of brest-litovsk, and America also joined the fight for the allied powers. Italy started out as a central power, but it never fought, and switched to the allied powers near the wars end. So it ended up being Germany, Prussia, Austro-Hungary, and Bulgaria fighting against America, Britain, France, Russia.
