part 15- the great war part 1
1905 stated like any other year, nohing interesting wa happening but then we noticed that the bitish army thatfought against the frech a few yeas ago is still on german soil, and we win a nobel prizein literature.
in october we lauch a colonial fair wich brings us much prestige
in jauary 1906 we discoverthat our greek allies have built a huge army compaed to the size of their population
in 1906 we host the third olympic games which brings a huge amount of prestige to our country
on september the 10th 1906 war breaks out across europe,wesa neutral at irst but the kaiser knows that eventually we ill have no chice but to chose a side.
the kaiser orders the mobilization of the armed forces as a precaution
two months in to the war and hundeds of thousands have died in horribly blooy trench warfare, the russians where being slaughtered by the austrian and french forces. the kaiser decided that he hadhad enought of seeing or arch enemies france and austria slowly eat away at the russian empire so on the 18th of november we join britain and russia in fighting against austria and france.
we begin createing propoganda, but heres a little cartoon explaining how the war started
the war starts with trench warfare on the southern front, but our entery into the war has resulted in the austrians retreating westwards wichhas handed the initiative to the russians. we force the austrians out of germany in several battles.
in december we weaken our lines as a way to end the trench warfare, the french and austrians fall for the trap and 180 thousand french troops are surrounded at gorlitz, the battle goes on for a few more months as they try to brake through our lines.
the austrians attempt and fail to break our lines to free the french, loseing 17000 men in the process at the battle of prague and an additinal 30,000 troops at the battles of kustrin and kattowitz
on the 11th of march 1907 realizein that the majority of the french army is in austria we launch an offensive to capture france nicknamed operation sedan.
in the east the battle of gorlitz has finished with nearly 120,000 french dead
it is clear that this war is going to change the course of human history, with us and our allies building a new weapon named the tank. things are getting bloody with the russian casulties numbering over 800,000 and the austrian and french casulties numbering over 500,000. it is clear that we have an advantage over ou enemies but who's to say the usa, spain, the ottoman empire or japan wont come the our enemies aid. will we win or will we lose, will we lose everything? we will find out soon.
