    The Final Nail Maciejewski The Final Nail: The Russians in 1916 JEFFREY MACIEJEWSKI Abstract: The events of 1916 broke Tsarist Russia, putting it on an unavoidable path to revolution, but it was not the revolutionaries that set the empire on that path. Instead, the combination of a small-scale defeat at Lake Narotch, the success of the Brusilov Offensive, the addition of Romania as an ally, and economic changes fundamentally altered Russia’s socio-economic foundation. This negative shift provided the fertile ground the revolutionaries needed to expand beyond being manageable annoyances. As a direct result of 1916’s wartime events, Russia’s longstanding radical sentiment finally began to boil over into actual revolutions in 1917. Introduction Winston Churchill once wrote “the very rigidity of the (Russian) system gave it its strength and, once broken, forbade all recovery.”1 In this respect, 1916 was the decisive year for the Russian Empire as it broke the Tsarist system. World War I’s first two years went poorly for Russia, but circumstances shifted in 1916, offering the Russians their best chance for victory; their economy had significantly improved and their enemies believed they had broken the Russian Army. New leaders with fresh ideas emerged to challenge the Central Powers like never before and with victory Russia gained a new ally, Romania. The Russians finally seemed to have reached parity with their enemies and the ability to fully assist the Allied cause. It was the make-or-break year for Russia. Given such changes in fortune, why did 1916 break both the Russian Army and the Tsarist government? The confluence of changes and events, even positive ones, simply overwhelmed Russia.

  • The Brusilov Offensive'
    H-German Smith on Dowling, 'The Brusilov Offensive' Review published on Tuesday, March 17, 2009 Timothy C. Dowling. The Brusilov Offensive. Bloomington: Indiana University Press, 2008. xxv + 208 pp. Illustrations. $24.95 (cloth), ISBN 978-0-253-35130-2. Reviewed by Jeffrey R. Smith (School of Social Sciences, Northwestern State University) Published on H-German (March, 2009) Commissioned by Susan R. Boettcher Uncovering the "Unknown War" For English-speaking audiences of the twentieth century, the history of the First World War has overwhelmingly been told from the perspective of the western front, with its traumas of trench warfare, military immobility, and the introduction of new technologies, all of which would have profound consequences in shaping the politics of postwar Europe. Equally significant but much less familiar to these audiences is the eastern front, the scene of a titanic conflict involving the old, powerful empires of the Romanovs, Hohenzollerns, and Habsburgs that ultimately resulted in the downfall (or complete collapse) of all these states, a Marxist revolution in Russia, and an anticipation of German racial imperialism in the East. It comes as no surprise, therefore, that in recent years several efforts have been made to flush out what Winston Churchill called the "unknown war." The latest of these is Timothy C. Dowling's frequently engaging book, which delineates the preparation, execution, and aftermath of Russia's greatest military contribution to the Allied war effort. Launched in June 1916 and planned in conjunction with Somme offensive in the West, General Aleksei Brusilov's campaigns were essentially responsible for ending the offensive capacity of the Austro- Hungarian military, the remnants of which would be placed under a German unified command for the remainder of the war.

    The Russian Revolution of 1917 Balancing the Books. Russian Autocracy in 1913 Optimists vs Pessimists: Having survived the 1905 Revolution, tsarist Russia in 1913 celebrated 300 years of Romanov rule and marked the ninth anniversary of the October Manifesto. A question hangs over this last decade of peace. Was tsarist Russia evolving toward more stable forms of political, socio- economic, and cultural life that made a repetition of 1905 ever less likely or was it becoming an increasingly unstable polity which had not repaired and perhaps even had exacerbated the multiple political, social, and cultural fissures Gallery of Portraits of the Reigning House of that 1905 had revealed?

  • Book IV EKPYROSIS
    Chapter XVIII – De Bello Gallico 479 Book IV EKPYROSIS 480 Chapter XVIII – De Bello Gallico Chapter XVIII - De Bello Gallico 481 DE BELLO GALLICO War is the orgasm of universal life which fructifies and moves chaos, the prelude for all creations, and which like Christ the Saviour triumphs beyond death through death itself. P.J. Proudhon, French theorizer (1846) If there is ever another war in Europe, it will come out of some damned silly thing in the Balkans. Otto von Bismarck, German practitioner, probably apocryphal (1877) Beyond the mistakes of individuals, the outbreak of the Great War may be seen as a result of the self-aggravating interplay of three processes: the ruin of the balance of powers, i.e., the replacement of the concert-of-powers by two antagonistic alliance systems, the rise of liberalism and nationalism, and rapid industrialization, which, for purposes of war, made available railways, telegraphs, and improved gun technology. The improvement of agriculture also allowed to feed more conscripts. We recall that the last two major reorganizations of the continent's political order had occurred at the Peace of Westphalia in 1648, which, ending the Thirty-Years War together with most of the former imperial prerogatives, augured in the eventual collapse of the Holy Roman Empire, and within the structure formalized at the Congress of Vienna, which administered the receivership of the French Revolution and the Napoleonic Wars. Both designs accelerated the demise of feudalism, even if monarchical decorum was often maintained, and the rise of the bourgeoisie; the replacement of the divine authority of the kings with the cooperative structures of the modern nation-state.

  • From Victory to Defeat: Assessing the Russian Leadership's War Calculus
    From Victory to Defeat: Assessing the Russian Leadership’s War Calculus Andrew Monaghan, PhD Contents Introduction: Russia at War What are “War”, “Victory” and “Defeat” to the Russians, Anyway? Russia’s Wars on the Victory-Defeat Spectrum “Stoikost” and Victory Defeats or Victories? Russia’s Five Defeats The Common Features of Russian Defeats Causes of Defeat Defeat and the Concerns of Russian Military Science Today Conclusions Select Bibliography About the Author 1 Executive Summary - Moscow’s use of the military as a tool of policy, particularly in ongoing conflicts and wars such as Ukraine and Syria but also further afield, raises the question of the Russian leadership’s calculus related to conflict resolution. - The Russian leadership considers the military to be just one tool of policy, and war is fought to achieve specific policy aims. Russian military thinkers identify a spectrum from political victory through military victory to no military victory and the avoidance of defeat and then to no military victory to military defeat to complete destruction. Using this spectrum illuminates hypothetical factors that could cause Moscow to capitulate or to terminate hostilities on negotiated terms in a future war. - The majority of wars that Russia has lost have been limited wars in which the Russian state was not threatened, and waged on the periphery of the Russian Empire. Because war is a tool of policy, it is when a gap emerges between the policy and the way the war is being waged that leads Moscow to seek peace. Yet military defeat – even if costly and humiliating – has often been mitigated by subsequent Russian statecraft.
