Brusilov Offensive

The Brusilov Offensive was a major military campaign during World War I, launched by the Russian army in June 1916 against the Central Powers, primarily in the eastern front against Austria-Hungary. Named after General Aleksei Brusilov, the offensive aimed to break through enemy defenses and relieve pressure on Russia's allies. It was notable for its innovative tactics, including coordinated attacks and surprise assaults. The operation achieved significant territorial gains and inflicted heavy casualties on the Austro-Hungarian forces, but the overall impact on the war was limited as Russia faced internal difficulties and further challenges in subsequent years.
