The start of the Brusilov Offensive was the most successful Russian military operation during the First World War. It crippled the Austro-Hungarian Army and forced the Germans to divert troops from Verdun. But the Brusilov Offensive ultimately was a failure and cost the Russian's an enormous amount of men. What went wrong?

_“The 1916 Brusilov offensive proved to be the _*_worst_*_ crisis of World War One for Austria Hungary, and the triple entente’s greatest victory. But it came at a tremendous loss of life on both sides, and without the promised support of Russia’s other armies, much of the territory gained by Brusilov was lost to the Germans arriving from the west. _*_It is a sad irony that in the end, it was a political collapse in Russia, not a military defeat, that would decide the outcome of this regions war.”_* -Battlefield 1 after winning the “Brusilov Offensive” operation as the Russians

"It is a sad irony that in the end, it was a political collapse in Russia, not a military defeat, that would decide the outcome of this regions war" So Battlefield 1 is spreading misinformation as usual. By 1917 the Russian army had effectively seized to exist as a functioning force and all but collapsed after the 1917 summer offensive. Calling the end of the war in the east a political collapse is effectively the stab-in-the-back myth from Germany all over again.

One can't discuss the outcome of the Brusilov offensive without emphasizing that the southern half worked as planned, and the northern half was a total flop because Evert refused to cooperate, and when he did, he didn't use the modern tactics. It also bears mention that only the northern half would have faced the German forces.
@larslundandersen7722
@larslundandersen7722 Год назад
Evert didn't need to defeat the Germans. Evert just needed to commit enough to the offensive to prevent the Germans from stabilizing the Austro-Hungarian part of the front. Brusilov had already broken the Austro-Hungarian part of the front and if the Germans didn't stabilize it, what was at that point a heavy defeat, could have turned into a disaster for the Central Powers.

@@alexzero3736 We are referring to not one location with many battles but an offensive comprising multiple locations and many battles. You are, however, correct. The many battles at Verdun during WW1 were deadlier than the whole of the Brusilov offensive combined. However, the Brusilov offensive had a far more significant influence on the outcome of WW1. Despite being Imperial Muscovy’s most significant victory in WW1, it proved to be the slow terminal poisoning that defeated and killed Imperial Muscovy and the Eastern Entente in 1917. This offensive would prove catastrophic for the Western Entente as it inspired the creation of the elite Sturmtroppen and nearly broke the French Army’s Morale, thus nearly causing the Western Entente to be defeated in WW1. The Western Entente we're only saved and won the war because the Americans, with their massive industrial infrastructure, and gigantic manpower reserves, chose to physically participate at the last minute in a near literal deus ex machina whose sheer scale of the threat they posed, even while not being present in the trenches yet forced the Germans to rush efforts in the West instead of consolidating gains in territory and resources in the east from their ultimate victory on the eastern front.

It is often forgotten how afraid the German general staff was of Russia. They already pushed heavily for a war with Russia before the first World War. Their reason was that, if Russia continued its industrialisation and build up of the railway network, they would be unbeatable from the 1918-20s onwards. And if you think about it it makes sense. Endless manpower combined with unreachable industrial areas, limitless resources and the infrastructure to move everything where it is needed. How to beat that with 1910 tech and a country that already in peacetime depends heavily on imports.

It's not, it was bought and paid for by the Western private central banker families, like Jacob Schiff, head of the Kuhn-Loeb Bank of New York, a branch of the Warburg's in Germany and another one.

@@alexzero3736 Not really. I see the only win scenario for Germany by focusing on eastern front from the very beginning and crushing Russian army in 1914 together with Austria-Hungary. No invasion of Belgium and only defending in the West. Once Russia is out, negotiate peace with France.

AH required heavy military and economic support from Germany from mid-1915 onward. It was seen as the most vulnerable Central Power (close behind Turkey), so it drew attacks at the Isonzo, Salonika, and other actions that wouldn’t have happened unless the attackers thought AH could be knocked off. Germany saved their bacon each time. AH was thus a near-helpless dependent of its big brother.

Great episode TGW. More like this - where you spend 20-30 minutes going back to some of the key, but lesser explored battles / campaigns of the Great War. Perhaps going over the early battles between Russia and the Austro-Hungarian Empire would be interesting, as there was considerable movement, if memory serves.

You have a lot to catch up to, including multiple videos diving into the Russian Civil War (nearly 7 hours of it), the Italo-Turkish War, the Russo-Japanese War and so much more pre and post-WW1 content. Additonally, Jesse and the TGW team have created a channel called Real Time History, which has created a Week-by-week coverage of the Franco-Prussian War and a 3 hour video on Napoleon's invasion of Russia.

I stumbled on a kind of postscript to this battle. I've been researching weapons of the Red Army and found this piece after translating the Russian. It makes me wonder if any difference in outcome might have occurred if this weapon system had been developed 12 months earlier. "On March 8, 1916, a rifle grenade launcher constructed by Sgt. 37. Yekaterinburg Regiment M. G. Djakonov. On December 24, 1916, military tests were conducted with the units of the Southwestern Front. They were very successful because its commander - General Brusilov - immediately asked for the supply of 600,000 pieces of Djakonov's rifle grenades."

The only son of cavalry General Alexei Alekseevich Brusilov (1853-1926) by his first wife, Anna Nikolaevna Gagemeister (d. 1908). He graduated from the Page Corps, served in the Life Guards Cavalry Grenadier Regiment. In 1912-1914 he studied at the Cavalry Officer School. During the First World War, he commanded the infantry infantry squadron of the 2nd Guards Cavalry Division (02.05.1916-09.01.1917). From January 10, 1917, he commanded the 2nd squadron of the Life Guards of the Cavalry Grenadier Regiment. He was awarded many orders for military distinctions. The last rank in the "old" army is the staff captain of the Guard. On July 2, 1917, in the church of the village of Grebnevo, Bogorodsky district, Moscow province, he was married to Varvara Ivanovna Kotlyarevskaya, the daughter of a privy councilor.

Actually, General Alekseev (Russian overall commander) told Brusilov to delay the attack as Northern front is not ready to support it yet...But Brusilov believed that the moment was right to attack now...this misunderstanding and competition between commanders resulted in two very separated attack efforts. Brusilov offensive initially successful was repelled with German reinforcements, and Russian attack in the North came to late, as Germans already reorganized defensive lines. BTW Romanian joining the war proved to become burden for Russian army as Romania failed to defend itself.
@901Sherman
@901Sherman Год назад
Brusilov wanted to attack on schedule because of the dire need to help the Italians and French who were on the backfoot, not because of some competition between the commanders (if anything, Western and Northern Front command had near 0 intention of attacking at all). Also, German troops helped stiffen resistance and make the going and losses harder for the Southwestern Front but even they were pushed back during the middle half of the offensive (Stone’s Eastern Front has a particularly amusing role reversal example where GERMAN troops retreated in disarray from incoming Russians and it was the AUSTRIAN officers that had to keep them in line). Ultimately the strained logistics, lack of reinforcements, and unwillingness of some commanders to use Brusilov’s methods played a bigger role in halting the offensive, as shown in the vid.

_”By the beginning of 1916, it was becoming increasingly clear that Russia could no longer sustain the losses from several failed operations while maintaining loyalty to the autocratic and ever more dysfunctional monarchy of Tsar Nicholas II. If the Austro-Hungarians had managed to halt the first Brusilov advance, inflicting further wounds on Russia, it is likely that anger amongst the people at home would have ignited the revolution immediately. Leading to the Bolsheviks pulling Russia out of the war before the winter set in, a huge blow to the allied alliance.”_ Battlefield 1, after winning the “Brusilov Offensive” operations as the Austro Hungarians.
