People from colonized nations served as soldiers and support staff during the war.
Explanation: Millions of colonial subjects were recruited or conscripted as combat troops, laborers, porters and support personnel for imperial armies (for example, large numbers from British India, French West Africa and North Africa, the Belgian Congo, and other colonies), and they fought and worked in Europe, the Middle East, Africa and elsewhere — a contribution that had significant social and political effects after the war.
