1,5 years into the Great War Russia began to suffer from increased war exhaustion. In 1916 it mobilized all of its resources to launch an offensive to end the war before it was crippled from war weariness.

    It always amazes me how forgotten the Brusilov Offenisive is. It was literally the bloodiest battle of WW1 with over 2 milion casualties on both sides. The only other battles that are comparable in this respect are: Kaiserschlacht Offensive, Moscow, Rzhev, Leningrad and Stalingrad. It's also fascinating from a millitary point of view. The Russians used tactics that revolutionized the battlefield. It also creates great opprotunities for what if scenarios. This offenisve could have failed completely as many other russian offensive in the Great War. Is such scenario Russia may have collapsed sooner with grim consequences for the Entente. It also could have succeeded and gave Russia a complete victory in the war. Unfortunately, it is really hard to find any really in depth sources on this topic. If you know any please tell in the comment section.
  • Very informative, easy to understand, love your frontline-approach. Greetings from vienna. On 21th of November 1916 Franz Joseph I., emperor of austria, apost. king of hungary, passed away. He sat on the throne for more than 67 years. A grace of god spared him from seeing his realm rammed to wreck.

    Fantastic, I'm sure the research and analysis was exhausting, so well done, and we can't wait to see and hear in more detail how the fronts of the red terror moved back fore in the hell that was the soviet takeover of the poor Russian and "Stan" people.
  • @ramiromen6595
    Loved this series East, took me back to the old Great War channel (which in fact might warrant a rewatch since ww2 is ending)

  • @robrot404
    I remember a few years back I asked you about doing a video detailing the Russian civil war, and you replied that there was not enough information to make one. I guess it took you that long to do all the research lol great job, love your videos
