74.11 The Eastern Front 1914
May 26, 2023•26 min
Episode description
The Russians strike hard against their most powerful enemy, Germany. Austro-Hungary help their German ally although their military forces are under-resourced, in large part because through the years the Hungarian parliament had restricted military finding by using it as a bargaining chip for political concessions.
While the Austrians attack Serbia, the Germans achieve a significant victory against Russia at the Battle of Tannenberg.
