Q1: Why were the colonies vital?

[Answer]

The same campaign was going on throughout the colonies and dominions. As a result, large numbers of men from all over the empire joined and their part was vital. For example, almost as many men joined up in India as in Britain.

At the end of the war more New Zealand soldiers were casualties as a proportion of their population than any other country in the empire.
