These countries fought against the Central Powers which included Germany, Austria- Hungary, Ottoman Empire and Bulgaria.

The fighting of the war took place in most of the countries of Europe. The actual fighting was on many different fronts the Western Front was where most of the fighting between Germany and the allies happened.New Zealand went to war because the britain declared that there was going to be a war in 1914 New Zealand never had a choice but to follow, New Zealand was a dominion of Britain when WW1 started, and though it governed itself internally, its foreign policy was run out of london and the rest of the British Empire.

The cause of ww1 was the assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand at Sarajevo on the 28th of june 1914. The war ended when Germany had formally surrendered on November 11, 1918 and all nations had agreed to stop fighting while the terms of peace were negotiated. On June 28 1919 Germany and the Allied Nations signed the Treaty of Versailles formally ending the war.
