Central powers during World War I were Germany, Austria-Hungary and Turkey whereas the powers who fought in opposition of Central powers were known as Allied powers. The major Allied Powers were Great Britain, The Russian Empire and France. 

The Central Powers, consisting of Germany, Austria-Hungary, the Ottoman Empire and Bulgaria also known as the Quadruple Alliance was one of the two main factions during World War I (1914-18). It was defeated by the Allied Powers that had formed around the Triple Entente.
