People call World War 1 the Great War because the war lasted from 1914 to 1919. But, the fighting stopped in 1918. The war was fought by the Allies and the Central Powers. The Allies fought on one side and the Central Powers fought on the other side. The Central Powers were Germany, Austria-Hungary, Ottoman Empire, Bulgaria ect... The Allies were Serbi, Russia, France, Belguim ect...
The 3 main members of the allied powers in world war 1 were Great Britan, the U.S., and I belive Russia, (although they backed out during the Bulshivick Revolution which started the USSR.) They were fighting the Axis Powers, which mainly consisted of Germany and Austrai - Hungry
World War Two. Obviously they weren't alone in fighting the Axis Powers.
