Westerners tend to think of WWI as taking place entirely on the "Western Front". But there was fighting in many places. The Western Front was 450 miles of trenches extending from the Swiss border (Switzerland was neutral) to the North Sea, across eastern and northern France and part of Belgium.
There was an Italian Front, from the southern Swiss border to the Adriatic, where the fighting was between Italy (allied with Britain, France and the US) and the Austro-Hungarian Empire (allied with Germany).
There was an eastern front, with fighting between Germany and Austro-Hungary on the one hand and Imperial Russia and Serbia on the other. Much of this fighting was in what is Poland today and western Russia.
Germany and Britain both had African colonies and there was some fighting there.
The British tried an amphibious attack or Turkey. Turkey (The Ottoman Empire) was allied with Germany and Austro-Hungary. This was the Gallipoli Campaign and is much remembered in Australia and New Zealand for the heroic sacrifices of those commonwealth nations there. There was fighting in the Holy Lands, Palestine and Syria. These were part of the Ottoman Empire and the British campaigned there, and a British officer, T. E. Lawrence, "Lawrence of Arabia" led an Arab revolt against the Turks.
There were half a million allied troops landed at Salonika in a mostly forgotten campaign into the southern flank of the Austro-Hungarian Empire.
There was a war in the Atlantic. mostly between German submarines trying to sink all ships bound for Britain, and British and American ships trying to prevent that.
