In WW1 most of the fighting was in Europe because the war was primarily a confrontation between two blocs of European powers: France, Russia, Britain and a little later, also Italy (and various minor powers) against Germany and Austria-Hungary, soon joined by the Ottoman Empire. Later the US fought alongside the Entente. Many older schoolbooks claim that the war was 'about Imperialism'. In fact, it was first and foremost a European war (with an extension in the Middle East).
