1914-1918 Eastern Front

The Eastern Front (1914-1918) during World War I was a vast battlefield spanning from the Baltic Sea in the north to the Black Sea in the south. It primarily involved Germany and Austria-Hungary fighting against Russia. Unlike the trench warfare on the Western Front, the Eastern Front saw more movement and larger-scale battles. This theater was marked by significant battles like Tannenberg and the Brusilov Offensive. The harsh conditions, vast distances, and logistical challenges often resulted in heavy casualties and shifts in territory, ultimately contributing to the Russian Revolution and the eventual withdrawal of Russia from the war.
