Answer: Allies fought against the Central Powers - Germany, Austria-Hungary, Bulgaria and the Ottoman Empire.

Step-by-step explanation:

The Allies (Entente Powers) were the coalition that fought against the Central Powers of Germany, Austria-Hungary, the Ottoman Empire and Bulgaria from 1914 to 1918.

  • During his visit in Sarajevo, Bosnia, Franz Ferdinand (the heir to the throne of Austria-Hungary), was killed by a Serbian. As a result, Austria-Hungary declared war on Serbia.
  • Russia had an alliance with Serbia, and therefore got involved. In addition, Germany, having an alliance with Austria-Hungary, declared war on Russia.
  • Britain entered the war because of Germany's invasion of Belgium.
  • The Ottoman Empire joined the war in August 1914, upon signing the Turco-German Alliance.
  • Bulgaria declared war on Serbia in October 1915.
