Which countries were part of the Allied Powers in World War I?

1. Germany, Turkey, and Austria-Hungary

2. Great Britain, France, and Russia

3. Italy, Japan, and China

4. France, Germany, and the United States

The correct answer is: Great Britain, France, and Russia

Your choice is correct because Great Britain, France, and Russia were indeed the primary countries that formed the Allied Powers during World War I. This alliance was established in opposition to the Central Powers, which consisted mainly of Germany, Austria-Hungary, and the Ottoman Empire. The inclusion of these three nations was significant because they played crucial roles in the military efforts against the Central Powers. For instance, Great Britain and France were major players on the Western Front, while Russia contributed significantly until its withdrawal following the 1917 revolution. Their cooperative strategies and resources were instrumental in ultimately achieving victory in the war.
