Inaccurate map

[edit]

The featured map is wrong to indicate the Ottoman Empire was neutral just as was Spain in World War I. While Spain in fact remained neutral, the Ottoman Empire very much came into WWI on the side of the Germans and Austria-Hungary, joining the Central Powers only a few months after Austria-Hungary declared war on Serbia (which triggered the chain reaction that became World War I); see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/World_War_I.

While I recognize that the map at issue was obtained from the referenced article, that article featured the map as a delineation of the state of affairs on the eve of the War; it does not depict the state of affairs into which the War had morphed in its final years i.e. the state of affairs the Armistice resolved.BLZebubba (talk) 09:38, 12 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

The map's legend and caption clearly state that it depicts the alliances that existed at the war's start. So how is it inaccurate? Srnec (talk) 18:33, 12 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

New 'Effects' section

[edit]

Restructured the article for slightly better formatting and flow by adding the effects of war section. Moved some paragraphs into this section while also adding extra information and sources to it to help address the incomplete article tag. Open to suggested reversion, changes or other edits.

Spain in World War ISpain and World War I – Spain was not in World War I. To be in a war is to take part in it, to fight, or at the very least to be the scene of fighting. Spain was neither. Srnec (talk) 18:51, 6 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
