Central Powers
The Central Powers were a coalition of nations that fought against the Allies during World War I, which lasted from 1914 to 1918. The main members included Germany, Austria-Hungary, the Ottoman Empire, and Bulgaria. They sought to expand their territories and influence, facing off against countries like Britain, France, Russia, and later, the United States. The war resulted in significant loss of life and resources, and ultimately, the Central Powers were defeated. The aftermath of the war led to major political changes and the signing of treaties that reshaped borders and established new nations.
