Abstract :After the rapid development of colonial activities in Europe at the beginning of the 19th century, a large amount of population resources became very popular with the use of underground resources of the colonial countries. This very low cost human resource has started to appear in the agricultural fields, service sectors, factories and finally its armies of western countries. People from Eritrea, Somalia, Indian, Tunisian, Algerian, Moroccan, Senegalese, and Madagascar, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan and Uzbekistan began to be conscripted extensively in the armies of the Allied Powers, especially in the First World War. This use had both positive and negative effects on imperial states until the end of the war. In this article, the soldiers in question and their effects are discussed and archival data collection method has been utilized.
