I think France and Britain were part of the Allies.
That's correct! France and Britain were indeed crucial to the Allied Powers. Russia was also a major member. Can anyone tell me when the USA joined?
Wasn't it later in the war, around 1917?

That's right! Germany was a leading power. Can anyone name others?
Austria-Hungary and the Ottoman Empire?
