The Ottoman Empire's alliance with the Central Powers (Germany and Austria - Hungary) in World War I brought the Middle East into the conflict. The Gallipoli Campaign was an Allied attempt to knock the Ottomans out, not a cause of the war spreading. Russia was part of the Allies, and Italy was initially neutral then joined the Allies.
