In the beginning, Austria-Hungary declared war on Serbia. Serbia had an alliance with Russia, and Austria-Hungary with Germany. Russia also had an alliance with France, and so they became involved as well. When Germany tried to invade France, they had to go through Belgium, who declared war on Germany as well. Great Britain had an alliance with Belgium, and also had ties to France. Thus, they became involved in the Great War as well. So:
The Central Powers:
- Germany
- Austria-Hungary
- The Ottoman Empire (which was on the decline anyways)
The Allies:
- Great Britain
- France
- Belgium
- Italy (later on)
- The United States (later on)
- Russia (who will pull out in 1918)
- Japan
Note: These are just the main powers. When it came to war, most countries also brought with them ties to their colonies, and so the list of involved countries and territories is extensive.
Over twenty-seven countries were mentioned as the Allied and Associated Powers in the Treaty of Versailles. World War I, however, was truly global in its outreach because colonies of European nations also went to war.
Austria-Hungary : Austria-Hungary initiated World War I by declaring war on Serbia in July 1914.
Belgium : Though initially neutral, Belgium joined World War I to offer stiff resistance against German invasion.
Brazil : Brazil joined World War I in 1917 on the side of the Allies, and was the only Latin American country to participate in the Great War.
British Empire : Britain and British colonies including Australia, Canada, India, and New Zealand formed part of the Allied camp. The spread of the British colonies across the globe brought World War I to Africa and Asia.
Bulgaria : The Kingdom of Bulgaria joined the Central Powers in 1915 and fought until September 1918.
China : China entered World War I in 1917 following U.S. entry into the war.
France and Colonies : One of the major Allied nations, France declared war with the German declaration of war against France on August 3, 1914.
German Empire : Germany was a major Central Power. Austria-Hungary's declaration of war was heavily influenced by Germany's assurance of support.
Greece : Following the U.S. entry into World War I, Greece entered the war on the side of the Allies on June 27, 1917.
Italy : Initially reluctant to join the war despite an alliance with Germany and Austria-Hungary, Italy sided with the allies in 1915.
Japan : Japan's entry into World War I in August 1914 followed Britain's request to combat raids of the Kaiserliche Marine (German Imperial Navy).
Liberia : Liberian trade was adversely affected by World War I, and the country joined the Allied Powers in 1917.
Montenegro : Linked closely with Serbia, Montenegro joined the Allied cause in August 1914.
Ottoman Empire : The Ottoman Empire joined World War I in November 1914, on the side of the Central Powers, due to its close ties with Germany.
Portugal : Despite the rivalry between Portugal and Germany, Portugal remained neutral until March 1915, when Germany declared war. Portugal then joined the Allies.
Romania : Romania joined the Allies in August 1916.
Russia : Russia, along with Britain and France, was one of the major Allied Powers, and first among the nations to mobilize troops against Germany.
Serbia : The outbreak of World War I was triggered by the assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand of Austria-Hungary in Sarajevo, Serbia. Austria-Hungary declared war on Serbia in July 1914.
United States of America: The United States declared neutrality in 1914. In 1917, the United States associated with the Allied nations thereby changing the course of World War I.
Other countries such as Guatemala, Haiti, Honduras, Nicaragua, Panama, San Marino, and Siam were also involved in the Great War.

- 1 answer
The migration theory is the belief that during the ice age people from the areas of mongolia, china, russia, etc...migrated to the northeast and traveled over the land bridge of the Bering Strait (the land bridge being exposed because the water levels had dropped due to a ton of water being frozen) and proceeded to migrate down into Canada and further south into North America, Mexico and then to South America.

What was the only true successful part of the gallipoli Campaign?
- 1 answer
There are many falsehoods surrounding the Gallipoli Campaign. The first concerns the role of intelligence and the depth of planning. A series of Naval Intelligence reports were published through 1906 and were updated by various individuals through to November 1914 on the Dardanelles defenses. In preparation for the naval attempt to force the Dardanelles in March 1915, the world's first aircraft carrier, HMS Ark Royal, was dispatched to conduct aerial reconnaissance flights. A naval air squadron, No. 3 Squadron RNAS, arrived in theatre on 28 March 1915 and continued mapping Turkish defenses. Aerial intelligence reports supplemented the daily Intelligence Bulletins published by the Cairo War Office throughout March and April 1915 which detailed the Turkish 5 Army's order of battle. In short, the commanders had a good appreciation on the Gallipoli defenses and planned their amphibious assaults accordingly. The ANZAC solution was to mount a silent night surprise attack to gain the beachhead before the dawn on 25 April 1915. The stories describing landing on the wrong beach are simply false. The ANZAC landing beach - Z Beach - had a 6,500 metre frontage. ANZAC Cove was in the centre of Z Beach. The ANZAC surprise attack proved to be successful. Orders and intelligence reports can be found in "36 Days: the Untold Story Behind the Gallipoli Landings", Pan Macmillan 2010.
