Eastern Front Russia, Austria-Hungary, Turkey After Russia mobilized quickly, Germany had to divert troops East Limited success Pattern  Russians could defeat Austrians, but not the Germans, and Germans had to keep coming to aide of Austrians Russia’s position worsened once Turkey joined (cut main supply route through the Dardanelles)

Diversionary Fronts Balkan Front Italian Front Bulgaria joins; Allies launch offensive Italian Front Placed heavy burden on Austrians (deploy ½ of forces) Turkey & Middle East Fronts Allies attempt to force Turkish surrender  aide Russia! War in Colonial Territories
