Which of the following statements would explain why Germany and Austria-Hungary were known as central powers
A-because their capitals are located at the center of their country
B-because they were geographically central in Europe
C- because their borders were in a circular shape
D-because they were at the center of the industrial world

B

Explanation:

"The Allies described the wartime military alliance of Germany, Austria-Hungary, Bulgaria and the Ottoman Empire as the 'Central Powers'. The name referred to the geographical location of the two original members of the alliance, Germany and Austria-Hungary, in central Europe."

"The geographical position of the German and Austro-Hungarian empires also gave the Central Powers at least one very important strategic advantage over the Allies they were fighting. It was much easier for the Germans and Austro-Hungarians to move troops, equipment and supplies from one battle front to another because they could do much of this on their domestic railway networks."
