Europe was thrust into war once more as imperial rivalries and entangling alliances led to the outbreak of the Great War in August of 1914. Opposing the Central Powers (Germany, Austria-Hungary and the Ottoman Empire) was the former Triple Entente (the United Kingdom, France and Russia). Eventually the Allied Powers came to include the British Commonwealth, Western Europe, troops from European colonial powers, Japan and eventually the U.S.
Presented here are a representative Grouping of flags representing these allied forces, posters, ephemera and stick flags pertaining to the Allied Powers.
