NZ was colonized by the British and a country in the British Empire. When Great Britain went to war with Germany, so did NZ, Australia, Canada, and other countries which were then part of the British Empire. WW1 was not merely a clash of countries. It was a clash of empires, even more so than WW2, and it is difficult to equate in a modern context now that Imperialism is in the past. The question "Why should NZ get involved?" was probably not asked in NZ at the time, at least not aloud.

IT WAS NORTH AMERICA
Cerainly in WW1 it was involved in the sense that it was a part of Arabia which was a protectorate of Great Britain.
about 1/5 of all the men involved in ww1 who died was killed by berbed wire(not being able to cross and get shot)
1 million people of which 110 000 people served in WW1 of which 73 000 were casualties, which was the second highest (on a percentage of population basis) of all the Allies
Basically whatever Britain did, NZ did. We were involved in Galipoli and many other battles.
the nz troops that fought for us in ww1 are in a cemetery in Iraq

Japan was heavily involved in WW1 and was asked for help several times by the British - Japan emerged from WW1 victorious and in control of more territory According to my husband, the history buff, Japan was not involved in WW1.
Part of the ANZUS alliance.
