Transcript: The source is from the perspective of a German Military photographer documenting the war. The heavy artillery was called the Big Bertha, the name came from one of the Allied forces to describe the heavy German artillery piece Howitzer. AFC, France, November 1917 http://www.kenthistoryforum.co.uk/index.php?topic=6042.0 British Vickers machine gun crew wearing PH-type anti-gas helmets. This photograph was taken after the conclusion of the battle in December 1917 at the railway marshaling yard at Cambria. If you surrender Verdun, you will be cowards! And you needn’t wait til then to hand in your resignation. If you abandon Verdun, I sack you all on the spot.”- prime Minister Briand. WELCOME The source is from the perspective of a French photographer documenting the battle. The imply of new weapon like Flamethrowers and phosgene gas, had a big impact on the soldiers. These soldiers were already trying to fight muddy and wet conditions and shellfire.http://www.wereldoorlog1418.nl/battleverdun/slachtoffers.htm British troops leave their trenchesBattle of the Somme, July 1, 1916 WAR WORLD ONE V Day, 25 June 1916Much brighter and warmer dayhttp://www.1914-1918.net/bat15C.htm MUSEUM Today, we will be having soldiers who fought in war talking about the type of weapons they used and tactics/strategies they used. Although. Another key factor behind the stalemate on the Western front was the fact that during the First World War, there emerged newer weapons like machine guns. In brief but accurate terms, it can be said that the race to the sea was a series of battles in which the Germans on the one hand, and the Allies on the other, tried to outflank each other through a series failed military manouevres. TO THE SOMME 1916:The British had two reasons why they decided to launch the Somme Offensive. 1. The wanted to relieve the pressure on the French at Verdun.2. The British new commander in chief, Sir Douglas Haig, had great faith in the Offensive, and believed that it was necessary.99. They wanted to drive though the German lines into the open country. They also hoped to push the north and south behind the Germans off their supply lines, rolling up the German line, and get the Germans to surrender. Webb, K. World War 1 – From Sarajevo to Versailles 2002. McGraw-Hill Publications.This source is from the perspective of a member of the allied forces. This is what the Prime Minister said to the French Soldiers. This is one of the reasons why French soldiers didn’t give up on Verdun. PASSCHENDAELE: The main reason for the battle of Passchendaele was to break the German line and to capture the two ports of Ostend and Zeebrugge. They Germans used them as U boats bases. The Germans were using them as safe ports from which to run its unrestricted submarine warfare campaign against Britain. The Germans were using their U boats to sinking quarter of all supply’s, which traveled by ships. The introduction of the convoy system for merchant shipping reduced losses significantly, but Haig still believed that capture of the Belgian ports would still provide an important breakthrough. 31 July – 6 November 1917 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_Passchendaele Verdun!On 21 February 1916, the Germans launched an offensive on the French town of Verdun. The main reason why the Germans attacked Verdun was: because Verdun was symbol as French honour, to prevent they Allied from attacking German’s positions on the Somme and the third point is, because Germany wanted to prepare the way for the attack on the main city of French, which is Paris. Germany believed that if the attacked were successful, it would be a lot simpler to defeat France. Then German will have the opportunity to turn and quickly defeat Russia on the Eastern Front. Since none of the countries fighting the war proved able to score a swift and decisive victory, the First World War, which began in 1914, did not come to an end until the latter part of 1918. The first key reason for the stalemate on the Western front was due to the German war plan and the way it unfolded on the battle field. The German war plan was known as the “Schlieffen Plan.” According to the Schlieffen Plan, the German army was expected to wage a rapid war to defeat the French army within a relatively short time, hopefully within a period of six weeks. The stalemate began when it became clear that the German plan was unable to achieve the quick military victory initially anticipated by Germany’s General Staff. The German military commander who implemented the Schlieffen plan, Helmuth Von Moltke, slightly changed the original plan by attacking Belgium and consequently fighting a war on two fronts Unrestricted Submarine (U-Boat) Warfare Lusitania, May 7th 1915

Transcript: Made by: Celeste Kadie Kyra 1. Mutual Defense Alliances Over time, countries throughout Europe made mutual defense agreements that would pull them into battle. Thus, if one country was attacked, allied countries were bound to defend them. Before World War 1, the following alliances existed: 1. (Russia and Serbia) 2. (Germany and Austria-Hungary) 3. (France and Russia) 4. (Britain and France and Belgium) 5. (Japan and Britain) Austria-Hungary declared war on Serbia, Russia got involved to defend Serbia. Germany seeing Russia mobilizing, declared war on Russia. France was then drawn in against Germany and Austria-Hungary. Germany attacked France through Belgium pulling Britain into war. Then Japan entered the war. Later, Italy and the United States would enter on the side of the allies. 2. Imperialism Imperialism is when a country increases their power and wealth by bringing additional territories under their control. Before World War 1, Africa and parts of Asia were points of contention amongst the European countries. This was especially true because of the raw materials these areas could provide. The increasing competition and desire for greater empires led to an increase in confrontation that helped push the world into World War I. 3. Militarism As the world entered the 20th century, an arms race had begun. By 1914, Germany had the greatest increase in military buildup. Great Britain and Germany both greatly increased their navies in this time period. Further, in Germany and Russia particularly, the military establishment began to have a greater influence on public policy. This increase in militarism helped push the countries involved to war. 4. Nationalism Much of the origin of the war was based on the desire of the Slavic peoples in Bosnia and Herzegovina to no longer be part of Austria Hungary but instead be part of Serbia. In this way, nationalism led directly to the War. But in a more general way, the nationalism of the various countries throughout Europe contributed not only to the beginning but the extension of the war in Europe. Each country tried to prove their dominance and power. 5. Assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand The immediate cause of World War I that made all the aforementioned items come into play (alliances, imperialism, militarism, nationalism) was the assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand of Austria-Hungary. In June 1914, a Serbian nationalist assassinated him and his wife while they were in Sarajevo, Bosnia which was part of Austria-Hungary. This was in protest to Austria-Hungary having control of this region. Serbia wanted to take over Bosnia and Herzegovina. This assassination led to Austria-Hungary declaring war on Serbia. When Russia began to mobilize due to its alliance with Serbia, Germany declared war on Russia. Thus began the expansion of the war to include all those involved in the mutual defense alliances. They first tried to kill him by throwing a bomb at their car but they missed and killed the people in the car behind them, later a 19 year old boy managed to shoot both him and his wife.

WORLD WAR 1 CAUSES, PRACTICES & EFFECTS OF WAR

The World before World War I The War was also known as THE FIRST WORLD WAR, THE GREAT WAR and famously “ THE WAR TO END ALL WARS” • It was a global military conflict that took place mainly in Europe between 1914 & 1918. It was a total War which left great devastation, millions dead and shaped the modern world. World War I created a decisive break with the old world order that had emerged after the Napoleonic Wars , which was modified by the mid-19th century’s nationalistic revolutions. The results of World War I would be important factors in the development of world war II; 21 years later.

Long-term Causes: Why did the war break out? • Napoleon Bonaparte and the Rise of Nationalist Sentiment • Colonial Expansion • Anglo-German Naval Race • Tension in the Balkans • Ascension of Kaiser Wilhelm II • Web of alliances

Serb Nationalism: Napoleon Bonaparte and the Rise of Nationalist Sentiment • Nationalism means being a strong supporter of the rights and interests of one's country. The Congress of Vienna, held after Napoleon's exile to Elba, aimed to sort out problems in Europe. • Delegates from Britain, Austria, Prussia and Russia (the winning allies) decided upon a new Europe that left both Germany and Italy as divided states. • Strong nationalist elements led to the Re-unification of Italy in 1861 and Germany in 1871. • The settlement at the end of the Franco-Prussian war left France angry at the loss of Alsace-Lorraine to Germany and keen to regain their lost territory. • Large areas of both Austria-Hungary and Serbia were home to differing nationalist groups, all of whom wanted freedom from the states in which they lived.

The French Revolution resulted in chaos and the ascent of Napoleon to power. Napoleon's armies marched all over Europe, bringing not only French control, but French ideas. • The rise of ideas of nationalism, devotion and love for one's common people and ethnicity, increased in popularity during the Napoleonic Wars. • Napoleon encouraged the spread of nationalism, which he saw in his troops, to better the French war machine. • The French people began to feel pride in their culture and ethnicity. The world watched nationalism for the first time and saw the power the French gained from it. • Following the Napoleonic Wars, all of Europe was sharing these ideas

Europe in 1914 • By 1914 Europe was divided as a continent in power struggling forces for the top place in the world economic market. • At the start of the Great War in 1914, Germany was a relatively young power, only coming into existence following a series of wars in 1871. Germany's Chancellor, Otto von Bismarck, had shepherd the country into the 20th century with the adage that Germany must always be in a majority of three in any dispute among the five great European powers. His aim was to maintain peaceful ties with Russian. • When Kaiser Wilhelm II came to power, he quickly retired Bismarck, and upset the Chancellor's delicate balance of power by refusing to renew Germany's friendship with Russia. Germany soon found itself in a minority of two. Its only European ally was the weakest of the European powers, Austria-Hungary.

Otto Van Bismark His Strategies towards building a better Germany.

Kaiser Wilhelm II

Imperialism andColonial Expansion • Imperialism is when a country takes over new lands or countries and makes them subject to their rule. • By 1900 the British Empire extended over five continents and France had control of large areas of Africa. With the rise of industrialism countries needed new markets. • The amount of lands 'owned' by Britain and France increased the rivalry with Germany who had entered the scramble to acquire colonies late and only had small areas of Africa. Note the contrast in the map below.

Imperialist rivalry had grown more intense with the "new imperialism" of the late 19th and early 20th cent. • The great powers had come into conflict over spheres of influence in China and over territories in Africa, and the Easter question , created by the decline of the Ottoman Empire, had produced several disturbing controversies. Particularly unsettling was the policy of Germany. • It embarked late but aggressively on colonial expansion under Emperor William II came into conflict with France over Morocco , and seemed to threaten Great Britain by its rapid naval expansion.

Militarism • Militarism means that the army and military forces are given a high profile by the government. The growing European divide had led to an arms race (competition between nations to have the most powerful weapons) between the main countries. • The armies of both France and Germany had more than doubled between 1870 and 1914 and there was fierce competition between Britain and Germany for mastery of the seas. • The British had introduced the 'Dreadnought', an effective battleship, in 1906. The Germans soon followed suit introducing their own battleships. • The German, Von Schlieffen also drew up a plan of action that involved attacking France through Belgium if Russia made an attack on Germany. The map below shows how the plan was to work.

Alliances • An alliance is an agreement made between two or more countries to give each other help if it is needed. When an alliance is signed, those countries become known as Allies. • A number of alliances had been signed by countries between the years 1879 and 1914. These were important because they meant that some countries had no option but to declare war if one of their allies. declared war first

Formation of the Triple Alliance • In 1879 Germany and Austria- Hungray agreed to form a Dual Alliance. • This became the Triple Alliance when in 1882 it was expanded to include Italy, The three countries agreed to support each other if attacked by either France or Russia. It was renewed at five-yearly intervals. • The formation of the Triple Entente in 1907 by Britain, France and Russia reinforced the need for the alliance.

Formation of the Triple Entente • In 1882 Germany, Austria Hungary and Italy formed the Triple Alliance. The three countries agreed to support each other if attacked by either France or Russia. • France felt threatened by this alliance. Britain was also concerned by the growth in the Germany Navy and in 1904 the two countries signed the Entente Cordiale (friendly understanding). The objective of the alliance was to encourage co-operation against the perceived threat of Germany. • Three years later, Russia who feared the growth in the Germany Army, joined Britain & France to form the Triple Entente. • The Russian government was also concerned about the possibility of Austria Hungary increasing the size of its empire. It therefore made promises to help Serbia if it was attacked by members of the Triple Alliance

Arms races • The naval arms race that developed between Britain and Germany was intensified by the 1906 launch of HMS Dreadnought, a revolutionary warship that rendered all previous battleships obsolete. (Britain maintained a large lead over Germany in all categories of warship.) It has pointed out that both nations believed in thesis that command of the sea was vital to a great nation. • Davis Stephoson described the armaments race as "a self-reinforcing cycle of heightened military preparedness", while other Historians, viewed the shipbuilding rivalry as part of a general movement towards war. However, Niall Fergueson argues that Britain’s ability to maintain an overall advantage signifies that change within this realm was insignificant and therefore not a factor in the movement towards war..

The naval strength of the powers in 1914

Crisis • Moroccan Crisis In 1904 Morocco had been given to France by Britain, but the Moroccans wanted their independence. In 1905, Germany announced her support for Moroccan independence. War was narrowly avoided by a conference which allowed France to retain possession of Morocco. However, in 1911, the Germans were again protesting against French possession of Morocco. Britain supported France and Germany was persuaded to back down for part of French Congo.

Bosnian Crisis • In 1908, Austria-Hungary took over the former Turkish province of Bosnia. • This angered Serbians who felt the province should be theirs. Serbia threatened Austria-Hungary with war, Russia, allied to Serbia, mobilised its forces. Germany, allied to Austria-Hungary mobilised its forces and prepared to threaten Russia. War was avoided when Russia backed down. • There was, however, war in the Balkans between 1911 and 1912 when the Balkan states drove Turkey out of the area. The states then fought each other over which area should belong to which state. • Austria-Hungary then intervened and forced Serbia to give up some of its acquisitions. Tension between Serbia and Austria-Hungary was high.

The Black Hand • In May 1911, ten men in Serbia formed the Black Hand Secret Society. Early members included Colonel Dragutin Dimitrijevic, the chief of the Intelligence Department of the Serbian General Staff, Major Voja Tankosic and Milan Ciganovic. • The main objective of the Black Hand was the creation, by means of violence, of a Greater Serbia. Its stated aim was: "To realize the national ideal, the unification of all Serbs. This organisation prefers terrorist action to cultural activities; it will therefore remain secret."

By 1914 there were around 2,500 members of the Black Hand. The group was mainly made up of junior army officers but also included lawyers, journalists and university professors. • Three senior members of the Black Hand group, Dragutin Dimitrijevic, Milan Ciganovic, and Major Voja Tankosic, decided that Archduke Franz Ferdinand should be assassinated. Dimitrijevic was concerned about the heir to the Austro-Hungarian throne, Ferdinand's plans to grant concessions to the South Slavs. • Dimitrijevic feared that if this happened, an independent Serbian state would be more difficult to achieve.

The People chosen for the task • Gavrilo Princip, Nedjelko Cabrinovic and Trifko Grabez from Serbia to assassinate him.

The Background to the Assasination • Archduke Franz-Ferdinand of Austria-Hungary wanted to marry the beautiful Countess Sophie von Chotkowa und Wognin (Sophie Chotek).   • Emperor Franz Josef forbade the marriage; Franz Ferdinand was heir of a noble royal family.   He was supposed to marry royalty.   Sophie was only a commoner.   • The two eloped and married secretly, anyway, on 28 June 1900.   Then they returned to face the music.   Franz Josef ruled that they could not be seen together in public, since an Archduke could not appear with a mere Countess as his consort.   • She was raised by Franz Josef to Princess of Hohenberg when she married Franz Ferdinand in 1900, and to Duchess of Hohenberg in 1907.   But Franz Josef disliked Sophie, and she was continually insulted and slighted in Vienna. • Franz Ferdinand was hurt by the ban on public appearances, until he found a loophole: as Field Marshall of the army he could appear with his wife (for a Field Marshall could be seen with a commoner as his consort).   It was this that led Franz Ferdinand to go to more and more army reviews, and was to lead to his death.

In 1914, Austria-Hungary was a world power, but its rulers were afraid.   • They feared nationalism.   • Many different races lived in the Austrian Empire; fifteen different languages were spoken within its borders.   • If nationalism caught on in Austria-Hungary, the Empire would fall apart.

The small nation-states in the south-east of Europe (`the Balkans') were very nationalistic.   Serbia was the worst.  • In Serbia, there was a group called Union or Death (nicknamed the `Black Hand').   It was the Balkan equivalent of the IRA.   It was dedicated to uniting all Serbs.  • Many Serbs lived in the Austrian province of Bosnia, and after 1908 the Black Hand waged a terrorist war there, with bombings, shootings and poisonings.  • The Austrian Army wanted to destroy the Black Hand by attacking Serbia.

Assassination at Sarajevo • On 28 June 1914, the Archduke Franz-Ferdinand and his wife visited Sarajevo, the capital of Bosnia, to review these troops. • It was a sunny Sunday morning. It was the Archduke's wedding anniversary.  But the Archduke could not have chosen a worse day to go to Sarajevo.   • It was also Serbia's National Day - the anniversary of the battle, in 1389, when Serbia had been conquered by the Turkish Ottoman Empire, yet at which a Serb hero, Milos Obilic, had assassinated the Ottoman Sultan. The day was inextricably linked with Serbian nationalism, and with the assassination of foreign rulers. • Waiting for Franz Ferdinand, lined up along the Appel Quay, Sarajevo's main road, were six young men.   They were armed with pistols and bombs supplied by the Black Hand.   They were going to try to murder Franz Ferdinand

Austrian spies in Serbia had reported that there was going to be an assassination attempt. Panic, the Prime Minister of Serbia, had also told the Austrian government that there was going to be trouble. • Franz Ferdinand ignored these warnings. Only 120 policeman were on duty in Sarajevo, and they were so excited that they forgot to watch the crowds, and looked at the procession instead. • Franz Ferdinand was dressed in the ceremonial uniform of an Austrian cavalry general, with a blue tunic, a high collar with three stars, and a hat adorned with pale-green feathers. •  He wore black trousers with red stripes down the sides and around his waist a Bauchband, a gold-braided ribbon with tassels.

To reach the Town Hall the procession had to drive along the Appel Quay.   The six conspirators had posted themselves along the route; the Appel Quay was `a regular avenue of assassins.' As the procession moved along the Appel Quay there were a few shouts of Zivio! ('Long may he live!'). • At 10.10 am, as the procession drew near the Cumuria Bridge.

Near the Cumuria bridge: • 1st  Mehmed Mehmedbasic: told a friend that he could not get a clear opportunity; told Albertini in 1937 that a policeman had approached him just as he was to throw the bomb. • 2nd Vaso Cubrilovic: told investigation that felt sorry for the Duchess; told Albertini that he was badly placed. • 3rd   Nedeljko Cabrinovic: threw a bomb.   Wearing a long black coat and a black hat, he asked a policeman to tell him which car the Archduke was in; seconds later he had knocked the cap off a hand grenade against a metal lamp-post and aimed it at the Archduke seated in the open car.   Franz Ferdinand later claimed that he had knocked away the bomb with his hand; witnesses at the trial, however, all agreed that the bomb had bounced off the folded-back hood of the Archduke's car.   It blew up the car behind, killing two officers and injuring about twenty people.   Cabrinovic swallowed poison, but it failed to work.   After stopping to see what had happened, Franz Ferdinand's car sped to the Town Hall. • 4th (landward side) Cvetko Popovic: told a friend that could not sec which was Franz Ferdinand because he was short-sighted; told the trial the lost his nerve.

After attending the official reception at the City Hall, Franz Ferdinand asked about the members of his party that had been wounded by the bomb. • When the archduke was told they were badly injured in hospital, he insisted on being taken to see them. A member of the archduke's staff, Baron Morsey, suggested this might be dangerous, but Oskar Potiorek, who was responsible for the safety of the royal party, replied, "Do you think Sarajevo is full of assassins?“ • However, Potiorek did accept it would be better if Duchess Sophie remained behind in the City Hall. When Baron Morsey told Sophie about the revised plans, she refused to stay arguing: "As long as the Archduke shows himself in public today I will not leave him." • In order to avoid the city centre, General Oskar Potiorek decided that the royal car should travel straight along the Appel Quay to the Sarajevo Hospital. However, Potiorek forgot to tell the driver, Franz Urban, about this decision. On the way to the hospital, Urban took a right turn into Franz Joseph Street.

One of the conspirators, Gavrilo Princip, was standing on the corner at the time. Oskar Potiorek immediately realised the driver had taken the wrong route and shouted "What is this? This is the wrong way! We're supposed to take the Appel Quay!". • The driver put his foot on the brake, and began to back up. In doing so he moved slowly past the waiting Gavrilo Princip. • The assassin stepped forward, drew his gun, and at a distance of about five feet, fired several times into the car. Franz Ferdinand was hit in the neck and Sophie von Chotkovato in the abdomen. • Princip's bullet had pierced the archduke's jugular vein but before losing consciousness, he pleaded "Sophie dear! Sophie dear! Don't die! Stay alive for our children!“ • Franz Urban drove the royal couple to Konak, the governor's residence, but although both were still alive when they arrived, they died from their wounds soon afterwards.

Nedjelko Cabrinovic, statement in court (23rd October, 1914) • We did not hate Austria, but the Austrians had done nothing, since the occupation, to solve the problems that faced Bosnia and Herzegovina. Nine-tenths of our people are farmers who suffer, who live in misery, who have no schools, who are deprived of any culture. • We sympathized with them in their distress. We thought that only people of noble character were capable of committing political assassinations. We heard it said that he (Archduke Franz Ferdinand) was an enemy of the Slavs. Nobody directly told us "kill him"; but in this environment, we arrived at the idea ourselves. • I would like to add something else. Although Princip is playing the hero, and although we all wanted to appear as heroes, we still have profound regrets. In the first place, we did not know that they late Franz Ferdinand was a father. We were greatly touched by the words he addressed to his wife: "Sophie, stay alive for our children." We are anything you want, except criminals. • In my name and in the name of my comrades, I ask the children of the late successor to the throne to forgive us. As for you, punish us according to your understanding. We are not criminals. We are honest people, animated by noble sentiments; we are idealists; we wanted to do good; we have loved our people; and we shall die for our ideals.

July Crisis and the declarations of war • After the assassination of the Arckduke Franz Ferdinand on June 28, Austria-Hungary waited for 3 weeks before deciding on a course of action. • This wait was due to a large part of the army being on leave to help in gathering the harvest, which practically denied Austria the possibility of military action at the time. • On July 23, assured by unconditional ('carte blanche') support of the Germans should war break out, it sent an ULTIMATUM to Serbia containing many demands, among them that Austrian agents would be allowed to take part in the investigation, and in general holding Serbia responsible for the assassination. • The Serbian government accepted all the terms, except that of the participation of the Austrian agents in the inquiry, which it saw as a violation of its sovereignty. Emboldened by last minute Russian support, Serbia rejected the ultimatum. • Austria-Hungary, in turn, rejected the Serbian reply on July 26. Breaking diplomatic relations, the Austro-Hungarian Empire declared war on Serbia on July 28, proceeding to bombard Belgrade on July 29. On July 30 Austria-Hungary and Russia both ordered general mobilization of their armies.

The Germans, having pledged their support to Austria-Hungary, sent Russia an ultimatum to stop mobilization within 12 hours on July 31. • On August 1, with the ultimatum expired, the German ambassador to Russia formally declared war. On August 2 Germany occupied Luxembourg, as a preliminary step to the invasion of Belgium and the Schlieffen Plan (i.e. Germany had planned to attack France first according to the plan, and then Russia, which had already gone wrong) the same day yet another ultimatum was delivered to Belgium, requesting free passage for the German army on the way to France. • The Belgians refused. At the very last moment, the Kaiser Wilhelm II asked Moltke, the German Chief of General Staff, to cancel the invasion of France in the hope this would keep Britain out of the war. • Moltke, horrified by the prospect of the utter ruin of the Schlieffen Plan, refused on the grounds that it would be impossible to change the rail schedule- "once settled, it cannot be altered". • On August 3 Germany declared war on France, and on August 4 invaded Belgium. This act, violating Belgian neutrality to which Germany, France, and Britain were all committed to guarantee, gave Britain, which up to that point had yet to choose a side in the conflict, a reason to declare war on Germany on August 4.

Opening hostilities • Some of the first hostilities of the war occurred in Africa and in the Pacific Ocean, in the colonies and territories of the European powers. • On August 1914 a combined French and British Empire forces invaded the German protectorate of Togoland in West Africa. Shortly thereafter, on August 10, German forces based in South West Africa attacked South Africa, part of the British Empire. • Another British Dominion, New Zealand, occupied German Samoa (later Western Samoa) on 30 August; on September 11 the Australian Naval & Military Expeditionary Force landed on the island of Neu Pommern (later New Britain), which formed part of German New Guinea. • Within a few months, the Entente forces had driven out or had accepted the surrender of all German forces in the Pacific. Sporadic and fierce fighting, however, continued in Africa for the remainder of the war.

In Europe, the Central Powers — the German Empire and the Austro-Hungarian Empire - suffered from mutual miscommunication and lack of intelligence regarding the intentions of each other's army. • Germany had originally guaranteed to support Austria-Hungary's invasion of Serbia, but practical interpretation of this idea differed. • Austro-Hungarian leaders believed Germany would cover her northern flank against Russia. Germany, however, had planned for Austria-Hungary to focus the majority of its troops on Russia while Germany dealt with France on the Western Front. • This confusion forced the Austro-Hungarian Army to split its troop concentrations. Somewhat more than half went to fight the Russians on their border, a somewhat smaller force was allocated to invade and conquer Serbia.

Serbian Campaign {WWI} • The Serbian army fought a defensive battle against the invading Austrian army (called the Battle of Cer) starting on 12 August. • The Serbians occupied defensive positions on the south side of the Drina and Save rivers. • Over the next two weeks Austrian attacks were thrown back with heavy losses. • This marked the first major Allied victory of the war. Austrian expectations of a swift victory over Serbia were not realized and as a result, Austria had to keep a very sizable force on the Serbian front, weakening their armies which faced Russia.
