    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 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?

  • Precursors and Precedents. Forced Migration in Northeastern Europe During the First World
    Precursors and Precedents: Forced Migration in Northeastern Europe during the First World War by V_ejas Gabriel Liuleviˇcius In northeastern Europe and more generally throughout Europe as a whole, the First World War launched a series of expulsions, dislo- cations, and mass shifting of populations, which prepared the way for an era of displacements later through the twentieth century. This article explores aspects of forced migration in northeastern Europe. It considers first the deportations organized by the Russian army in occupied Germany (East Prussia in 1914/15) and within the Rus- sian empire itself, especially in the process of withdrawing from the Northwestern Territories in the \Great Retreat" in the spring and summer of 1915. Next, Imperial German plans and policies are treat- ed in projects focused on the occupied territories of Eastern Europe: the Polish border strip project and the military state established in Ober Ost (including parts of present-day Lithuania, Poland, Latvia, and Belarus). Finally, it is necessary to investigate the outlines of the forced migration experience and also the Rezeptionsgeschichte of this ordeal { how this historical phenomenon was received and assimilat- ed by societies in northeastern Europe. Considering this theme of forced migrations in the context of the First World War in northeast- ern Europe shows the increasing routinization of the movement of populations as a thinkable policy option for government, as a mod- ern state practice. Societies and individuals recognized this precisely in their growing apprehensions about this phenomenon. Thus, the forced migrations of the \Great War" were precursors and precedents of a phenomenon which would be central to the troubled history of northeastern Europe in the rest of the century.

  • The Repatriation of the Sick and Wounded
    The Repatriation of the Sick and Wounded The Tragic Case of Private 7822 Arthur Williams ‘C’ Company, 2nd Battalion Royal Munster Fusiliers It was inevitable that hospitals and medical staff at home would also have to care for the sick and injured enemy soldiers in their custody. The Prisoner of War Societies and the Red Cross worked tirelessly to bring about repatriation or exchange wherever they could, although this tended to be in cases where the men were very ill and would continue to need hospital care on their return. They were not soldiers who would be patched up and set back into action. Illness was often realised to be terminal and it was felt that where possible they should be returned to be near their family. However, there were often great delays in completing the bureaucracy before the exchange could be confirmed. If men were well enough, they were interviewed by the authorities on their return to obtain any information they could divulge about what was happening behind the lines. One such prisoner fortunate to be exchanged was Private 7822 Arthur Williams, of ‘C’ Company, 2nd Battalion Royal Munster Fusiliers. Arthur was born in Wolverhampton in 1887, the son of Arthur Henry Williams and Anne Elisa Williams of Major Street (right), his father working in the adjacent chemical factory. By 1901 the family had moved to nearby 28 Johnson Street, while Arthur junior found his first employment as a cycle fitter, aged fifteen. A short time after that young Arthur had found work as a brass dresser, but looking for a life of excitement and probably better pay, Arthur enlisted for the Army at Bilston on 7 Oct 1904.

Tommy-Poilu Relations on the Western Front 1914-1918 SUMMARY This thesis examines the relationships and interactions between British and French soldiers on the Western Front of the First World War. To date the historical approaches to inter-allied relations has been predominantly focused on those interactions taking place at governmental or command levels. Whilst previous studies have touched on the relations between common soldiers, this has often been within specific case studies. I have drawn particularly on the contemporary diaries, letters and written records of British soldiers within the Imperial War Museum and also the postal censorship records of the French army at the Archives de l’armee de terre in order to trace the nature and evolution of these relations across the war.
