Why did Algeria enter World War 1?

Algeria, then a French colony, entered World War I primarily due to its status as part of the French Empire. The French government mobilized colonial resources and troops to support the war effort, drawing on Algeria's manpower and economic resources. Many Algerians were conscripted into the French Army, while others contributed through labor and supplies. Their involvement was largely driven by colonial obligations rather than a direct choice to participate in the conflict.
