Countries involved in World War 1(the Great War)
score:4
Accepted answer
The enemies of the "Allies" were known as the Central Powers. This grew out of the Triple Alliance that originally included Germany, Austria-Hungary, and Italy.
When war began in 1914, Italy declined to join the other two (and later became an Ally in 1915). Turkey joined Germany and Austria in 1914 because of its emnity to Russia, an Ally. Bulgaria joined the other three in 1915 because of its emnity to Serbia, a minor Ally.
Of all these countries, Germany was the most major country, and the Treaty of Versailles pinned the blame for the war on that country. Her allies played only "supporting" roles.
