Merge into Triple... Death
These pages highly duplicate. Joncnunn 20:42, 26 April 2006 (UTC)
- Disagree. While there is some overlap, unavoidable as the Triple Entente and the Triple Alliance were at war with each other, the two topics are, and should remain, separate.--Anthony.bradbury 18:01, 3 July 2006 (UTC)
how many troops were involved in WW1
alot
The map is wrong
Greece was not part of the Central Powers! Can someone fix this? A.Cython (talk) 17:39, 5 May 2008 (UTC)
- The map in its current state does not show Greece to be a part of the Central Powers. EasyPeasy21 (talk) 14:40, 5 July 2008 (UTC)
- That is because I changed the map! the previous map was this one: [1] A.Cython (talk) 19:11, 31 July 2008 (UTC)
Mustafa Kemal
The list should only include a political leader, and a commander-in-chief, of a country fighting for the Central Powers. Mustafa Kemal was a very important figure during the Turkish War of Independence to the extent that he should be listed as a commander in the infobox of the Turkish War of Independence article, but he was not important enough in WW1 to warrant listing him alongside the sultan, and the commander-in-chief, of the Ottoman Empire in this article. As a result, I have removed Mustafa Kemal from the list. EasyPeasy21 (talk) 14:54, 5 July 2008 (UTC)
Zimmermann Telegram
If this article mentions alliances Germany tried to make with Afghanistan, then wouldn't it be also logical to include mentioning the Zimmermann Telegram, in which they tried to get Mexico to declare war on the USA? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 130.218.111.247 (talk) 22:11, 20 October 2009 (UTC)
Sultanate of Darfur
"For instance, when the sultan of Darfur, Ali Dinar (ca. 1898–1916), proclaimed his kingdom's allegiance to the Ottoman Empire, a small British force quickly defeated his forces, with the sultan dying during the fighting."

Maybe this should be added as a sub-bullet under the Ottoman Empire.--189.33.12.27 (talk) 21:09, 29 October 2009 (UTC)
Succeded by
Is the Central Powers really a predecessor to the Axis? Out of the tripartite, only Germany was in the Central Powers while the others were fighting in the Allied powers. Juxlos (talk) 09:22, 4 February 2018 (UTC)
Confused about the map
Are there any disclaimers or a key on to what the areas in the lower-left corner of the map are? I only recognize Tianjin IowaBird (talk) 06:49, 16 July 2019 (UTC)
Translation
For accuracy's sake, I'd recommend changing the translations from modern Turkish to Ottoman. Sirius85 (talk) 23:56, 26 September 2020 (UTC)
Ethopia and White Finland as supporters and co-bellingerents
Should they be listed as such?--87.188.75.185 (talk) 16:08, 14 November 2020 (UTC)
