August 1914- the war in the East began with Russian attacks against Austria Hungary and Germany

Tannenberg, August 1914- Russian attack ends in epic disaster

However, Austria Hungary’s attacks against Serbia and Russia ended in defeat and retreat

1915- New German attacks lead to Russia’s great retreat

Tsar Nicholas takes over the army Rasputin- Left at home to cause trouble https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=76MQqlx7x1w

In 1916- the Russians made a new attack- the Brusilov offensive In 1916- the Russians made a new attack- the Brusilov offensive. It worked only too well- causing the Germans to increase aid to A-H and brought the liability of Romania on the Allied side

On the home front in Russia Revolution foments… Food shortages at home Prices skyrocketed Working Conditions Not being paid/low wages, 13 hour days Workers strike

By 1917 the Russians were in full retreat

February/March Revolution: Women strike for bread February/March Revolution: Women strike for bread. “Peace and Bread” and “Down with Autocracy” Soldiers join demonstrators. Duma meets and demands that the tsar abdicates (give up) his throne.

Summer 1917: Provisional Government decides to continue the war in hope of an Allied victory Lenin returns to Russia “Peace, Land, and Bread” Revitalizes Bolsheviks. Bolshevik Revolution: October/November 1917: Bolshevik Red Guards take control of the Provisional Government. Lenin reallocates all land to farmers; gives control of the factories.

March 3, 1918: Treaty of Brest-Litovsk: Signs truce with Germany giving them Finland, Estonia, Latvia, Poland, Romania – Western Russia.

July 17, 1918 – Nicolas and Alexandra and family executed. Civil War breaks out between “Reds” and “Whites”

Other campaigns in the East- 1915- a failed landing against Turkey at Gallipoli

However the campaigns of Lawrence of Arabia eventually defeated the Turks

The war in Italy dragged on for three years with little changes in territory and lots of deaths

Serbia was finally subdued, and Allied intervention led to a “Balkan adventure” in Greece

When the armistice was signed on November 11, 1918, thousands of German troops were still in Russia, and Emperor Karl had withdrawn Austria-Hungary from the war.
