How did colonies fight during World War 1?

Answer 1

Colonies provided valuable resources and people during WWI. Colonies like the Belgian Congo gave useful materials like rubber, while other colonies like British India gave huge numbers of troops.

Answer 2

British colony India contributed 1.5 million men total while British dominions Australia, Canada, Newfoundland, New Zealand, and South Africa contributed 1.3 million men. France had 90,000 â??troupe indigenesâ?? before the outbreak of war and recruited a total of 500,000 troops from the colonies. Roles for all colonial troops ranged from fighting to labor.

Answer 3

Which colonies are you referring to? Colonies of the countries who had imperial possessions and colonies around the world or the United States? This question needs clarification. You can resubmit your question with your clarifications. I do know that in both World Wars the "colonies" fought right along with their own ruling nations such as Australia, New Zealand, South Africa, Dutch East Indies, India, etc.
