Collision of Empires

The War on the Eastern Front in 1914

Beschreibung

One of the primary triggers of the outbreak of World War I was undoubtedly the myriad alliances and suspicions that existed between the Russian, German, and Austro-Hungarian empires in the early 20th century. This book examines the events of the first year of the war and reveals the chaos and destruction that reigned when three empires collided.
