The colonies became involved in World War I largely due to their ties to European powers, as many were part of the British, French, and other empires. When these nations declared war, their colonies were drawn in to support the war effort through military contributions and resources. Additionally, colonial leaders often viewed participation as a way to assert their loyalty, gain political recognition, and push for greater autonomy post-war. The war's global scale also meant that conflicts in Europe quickly impacted colonies, leading to direct involvement.
