Key battles in WW1/WW2

Brusilov offensive

The Brusilov was the most deadliest attack of WW1 and happened after large Russian retreat in 1915 across the Kherson river. And now that the Tsar was in control of the countries war, he planned a large attack in the Austro German lines to take large portions of land back and continue the offensive towards Berlin and Vienna.

The attack was going to be a long and painful attack which would result in mostly a Russian victory but it was going to cost many men and supplies to even just start operating the attack. When the attack started, over 1.5 million men charged at the Austro German lines. The first series of attacks were successful despite the heavy casualties on both sides. Then they would continue the process of attacking and they kept ramming through one defensive line after another. And the central powers were beginning to fear that Russia would keep marching further back into their occupied territories. However the assault was slowly stopping and Austro German resistance became stronger and the necessary Russian supplies began to run short on amounts. Then the supplies stopped shipping as there was nothing to left to ship to the front. And then the assault had completely stopped as Germans and Austrians dug into defensive positions once again and the Brusilov offensive was just about a Russian victory.

However the Russians were not able to advance any further as the Austro German lines had strengthened and fortified which would make another attack far too costly to take place. The Russians would eventually hold onto what they had for sometime before they lost all their territorial progress near mid 1917 before the Russian revolution and the Communist revolutionary movements. Which would result in Russian troops leaving the war front in late 1917 to early 1918.

This attack was significant because of its army sizes and the Russian generals throwing the superior numbers into defensive positions until it was over run by swamping enemy troops into surrender and capture. The Germans were knowing that there was an attack coming at some point but not where. However they were less affected than Austria Hungary as not only didnt they not know. But their poor military and equipment was holding them back from actually being useful to Germany. Therefore they took the blunt of the force against the Brusilov offensive. But in the end they would both halt the Russian advance and push them back to where before they even launched the attack in the first place. Which then would with the demoralising army and civilians would eventually lead to the Communist revolutionary movements in late 1917 and the start of the Russian civil war from 1917-1922.
