Who was allied with Austria Hungary during World War I?

Answer 1

Four days after the Austrian-Hungarian Empire declared war, the German Empire declared war. The Triple alliance was made between the Austrian Empire, German Empire and Italy in the 1870's as a defensive treaty. Italy didnt join because the treaty stated they would help each other under the condition that a country declares war. But the German Empire had strong economic ties with Austria, as a result they declared war. The Ottoman Empire was the "sick man" of Europe. After the 1600's the empire slowly declined in power and wealth. Early victories in France and Russia by the central powers gave the Ottomans the belief that the central powers would in the end be victorious. They desired part of Serbia or Romania and once again be an European power. In addition they were still bitter after there loss in the Crimean War by the Russian Empire. Therefore the declared war secreatly in September of 1914 and openly in October when the launched a massive airstrike across the Russian Black Sea ports. In 1876, Bulgaria, Albania, Serbia, and Romania united and rebelled against the Ottoman rulers. They emerge victorious, however they wanted more land from Romania and Serbia on the grounds that they lost more troops in the war for independence and also they bordered the Ottoman Empire, which was a larger threat to them. Thus the First and the Second Balkan Wars occured in which Bulgaria lost both. As a result when WWI broke out, the German Empire and the Austrian-Hungarian Empire pressured the Kingdom of Bulgaria to join the war on their side and in return would give Bulgaria part of Romania and Greece, thus Bulgaria joine the war in 1915.

So basically the Allies of the Austrian-Hungarian were; the German Empire, the Ottoman Empire, and the Kingdom of Bulgaria.
