Africans were participants in World War I because

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Africans were participants in World War I primarily because they were bound to European powers through colonial ties. European powers recruited African soldiers to help fight in the war, and many Africans were forced to participate due to conscription or coercion. The recruitment of African soldiers also shows how the war had a global impact beyond Europe. However, there were some cases where African soldiers themselves may have believed in the cause of one side over the other, but overall their participation was due to colonial ties rather than ideological reasons. The idea of Africans being paid a great deal of money to participate is not accurate, and while some Africans may have believed in the causes of the Entente or Central powers, this was not a primary reason for their participation. Therefore, the best choice is D.
