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.www.patreon.com/historyeuropewww.historyeurope.netMusic composed by Alexander Scriabin - Etude in C Sharp MinorPicture - Tannenberg Bundesarchiv, East Prussian German InfantryTheme tune for the podcast by Nico Vettese, www.wetalkofdreams.com Hosted on Acast.

A podcast on European conflicts from the perspective of each side to provide an alternative to the traditional national narratives. Going chronologically from the Ancient Greeks onwards I will describe to some extent how each battle was won or lost by particular decisions, tactics, technology or fortune. But the aim of each main narrative will be to place each battle in the context of the overall history of Europe. Support this show http://supporter.acast.com/ahistoryofeurope.
