How did alliances change by the end of World War 1?

By the end of World War I, alliances underwent significant changes, particularly with the collapse of empires and the reconfiguration of national boundaries. The Central Powers, primarily Germany, Austria-Hungary, the Ottoman Empire, and Bulgaria, were defeated, leading to the dissolution of these empires. Conversely, the Allies, which included countries like the United Kingdom, France, Russia, and later the United States, emerged victorious, ultimately leading to new alliances and treaties, such as the Treaty of Versailles. This reconfiguration set the stage for future geopolitical tensions and alliances leading into World War II.
