What country fought the longest in World War 2?
Britain, France, Poland, Russia and many others. Officially, WW2 started on 1 September 1939 when German forces invaded Poland. Unofficially, WW2 started sometime in 1931 when Japanese forces invaded Manchuria after the Mukden incident which was staged as a prelude to invading China in 1937. American pilots and soldiers were in the thick of it by 1937. Some famous individuals were General Chenault of the Flying Tigers. On the ground it was a brave band of soldiers 'Merrill's Marauders" who fought from 1937 to 1945. Some of these soldiers went on to fight in the Korean conflict. Pappy Boyington started out with Chennault in Burma before taking over a rag tag group at Espirutu Santos in the Pacific.
So your question is really about who you want to look at. The Americans officially went to war on December 7th 1941. The Russians officially in June 1941. The Chinese would say 1931. The British on 3rd September 1939. The Ethiopians in 1937. The Finns fought against the Russians from 1939. Many Allied countries although their country had surrendered, continued fighting under their flag like the Free French Forces under General de Gaulle.
What were Germany's colors during world war 1?
So far as I know, Germany's colours in the Great War were black, white, and red, which were the colours of Prussia. Imperial Germany as it was in 1914 had come into being from the consolidation of the various German states by Prussia under the "Iron Chancellor" Otto von Bismarck after the Prussian victory over France in the Franco-Prussian war of 1870-71. The various iterations of the German flag from 1914-1918 seem always to have included black, white and red, in addition to Maltese crosses, eagles and other decoration, sometimes in gold.
The conditions for soldiers in the First World War were terrible. Trenches were dug for defence and shelter for Soldiers while they fought through years of stalemate battles. They were very muddy, and so soldiers could catch many diseases. Rats were common, and some were as big as cats! Lice was also a big problem, and soldiers had to run lit matches along their clothes to get rid of them.
