There were exactly 104 dreadnought battleships existing during WWI; named after HMS Dreadnought which was launched in 1906. Prior to 1906, battleships are referred to as Pre-Dreadnoughts.
The first two Japanese Dreadnoughts are officially referred to as Semi Dreadnoughts, but they were clearly dreadnoughts as they had a uniform big gun 12" armament and turbine engines. I count them here as Dreadnoughts, because they should be.

The Germans started WW2 with 6 battleships. One, the Graf Spee was damaged and scuttled in the second month of war.
At the end of World War II in September 1945, the United States had 23 battleships in active service. This included both modern battleships and those that had been refitted or repaired during the war. Many of these ships were later decommissioned or retired in the following years as naval warfare evolved.

No, Britain did not build any battleships for Turkey during World War 1. However, they did build and deliver two dreadnought battleships for the Ottoman Empire (which included present-day Turkey) in the years leading up to the war. These were the Sultan Osman I and Reşadiye, which were both commissioned in 1914.
They weren't battleships, they were obsolete and redundant World War 1 destroyers, and they weren't 'given', they were lent under the Lend/Lease Agreement and had to be either returned or paid for at the end of hostilities.
