Answer 1

Many countries fought very hard in the first World war some of these are Germany, England, America, Astro-Hungary and Serbia. Many other contories also worked very hard in the war.

well i think it was basically every country considering it is called the WORLD WAR. But the main coutrys were

Allies:

Russia, Great Britain, France, Serbia

Later on Australia, America and italy and a couple other countries came in to help

Central Powers:

Austria-Hungary, Germany, Turkey, I think belgium aswell

There were many countries that FOUGHT in world war 1 but some of them were Germany,Britain,France,Russia,Canada,Australia and the US.

On one side were the so-called Central powers. Italy is sometimes nominally included as a Central Power because of her membership in the pre-war Tripple Alliance. However, when fighting broke out Italy decided to sit out the fighting. In May 1915, Italy joined the enemies of the central powers, instead.

CENTRAL POWERS

German Empire, August 1914 - November 1918

Austro-Hungarian Empire, Augsut 1914 - November 1918

Ottoman Empire (Turkey) October 1914 - October 1918

Bulgaria, October 1915 - September 1918

On the other side were the allied powers. Some of these nations were only nominal allied powers were not involved militarily. (i.e. These countries did not actually FIGHT in the war.) In addition at the time some non-nations were among the allies. (i.e. These were not yet countries, yet fought in the war and were among the victors in the peace talks.)

By the war's end, Romania, Portugal, and Armenian Nationalists had joined the Allies, but Russia had surrendered, and the Ottoman Empire and Bulgaria had joined the Central Powers.
