Which empire was involved in World War I as part of the Central Powers?

1. Ottoman Empire

2. British Empire

3. Roman Empire

4. Romanov Empire

The correct answer is: Ottoman Empire

The Ottoman Empire was indeed involved in World War I as a member of the Central Powers, alongside Germany and Austria-Hungary. At the time, the Ottoman Empire sought to regain lost territories and support its allies in a war that ultimately reshaped many borders and led to significant political changes in the region. Other empires mentioned did not align with the Central Powers. The British Empire was actually part of the Allied Powers, opposing the Central Powers. The Roman Empire no longer existed during World War I, as it fell in the 5th century AD. The Romanov Empire refers to the monarchy of Russia, which also joined the Allies against the Central Powers in the war.
