During World War I, Russia's involvement was important to her Allies for primarily one reason. By remaining true to the Triple Alliance, Russia posed a threat to Germany (and the Austro-Hungarian Empire) from the East. This threat prevented Germany from dedicating all of its forces to the Western Front and thereby gave the Allies an advantage -- or at least balanced the odds for victory more favorably.

What European countries were allies during ww1?

During World War I, the main Allied Powers included France, the United Kingdom, Russia, Italy, and the United States, along with several other nations. Italy initially had an alliance with the Central Powers but joined the Allies in 1915. Other countries such as Belgium, Serbia, and Greece also supported the Allies against the Central Powers.


Why did both sides in World War 1 want the allies to join the war?

Both sides in World War I sought the Allies' involvement to tip the balance of power in their favor. The Central Powers, particularly Germany, believed that bringing the Allies into the conflict could overwhelm their opponents and secure a swift victory. Conversely, the Allies, including Britain and France, aimed to gain additional manpower and resources from the United States and other nations to strengthen their military efforts against the Central Powers. Ultimately, the entry of the Allies, particularly the U.S., played a crucial role in shifting the momentum of the war.
