So what countries do we have left? It's either a neutral or Central power. Spain, Holland, Norway, Sweden, Denmark, Germany, Austria-Hungary, Ottoman Turkey, or Albania.

Turkey is out - it's certainly an Asian power. Germany and Denmark seem unlikely to have leaders that weren't also born there. Austria's leaders all seem to be too old. Any guesses?

[damo666]

Three questions left.

Hint after Q19 if remains unguessed.

Free guess: Nils Edén.

I guess I missed stuff in the meantime. So Holland, Norway, Sweden, Denmark, or Albania probably, unless there is some loophole that allows it to be Spain or another country.

You're going down a rabbit hole this way.

You do not know the person's place of birth by the way.

NOT
Benito Mussolini (DreamTrawler)
Rajendra Prasad (Jamiet99uk)
Eleftherios Venizelos (Hominidae)
Mihály Károlyi (Wintergreen)
Nils Eden (Spartaculous)

[JECE]

I guess that he could still be a head of government of an Entente Power from before the country declared war.

[JECE]

Head of government of Norway, Sweden, Lichtenstein, Italy, Romania, Albania or Greece, or any Swiss politician?

[damo666]

Head of government of Norway, Sweden, Lichtenstein, Italy, Romania, Albania or Greece, or any Swiss politician?

No

[JECE]

I found six politicians who arguably still make the cut:
Victor Hugo de Azevedo Coutinho
José Augusto Soares Ribeiro de Castro
Esterházy Móric
Károlyi Mihály Ádám György Miklós
Ivan Škrlec Lomnički
Antun Mihalović

[DreamTrawler]

The Pope wasn't a head of state/government in the 1910s, right?

[DreamTrawler]

I found six politicians who arguably still make the cut:
Victor Hugo de Azevedo Coutinho
José Augusto Soares Ribeiro de Castro
Esterházy Móric
Károlyi Mihály Ádám György Miklós
Ivan Škrlec Lomnički
Antun Mihalović

These all could be it, but isn't Portugal an Entente/Allied power?

Not when those two were in office, though

Unfortunately the target is not a monarch - see Q12
