WWI Question Response #2

Define and describe the powers fighting on the Eastern theatre. What were some similarities and differences between battles on the Western and Eastern fronts? Be specific in your answer.
              The powers that were fighting in the Eastern theatre were "the ancient monarchies of Austria, Russia and Germany". There were many differences among the Eastern and the Western fronts. One being that the Western front received 'greater fame' than the Eastern front. This could have been due to the fact that three million men fighting for the Eastern front died and nine million men were wounded. Because of this war the Eastern powers were quite unstable and their governments collapsed. The year of 1915 was not a successful one for the Eastern theater. Two million soldiers from Russia perished and Germany and Austria-Hungary together lost about one million men that year as well. When the new government of Moscow took over, German prisoners-of-war were relocated to the Western front. For a moment in the war it seemed like a stalemate due to the similar tactics from the two fronts. However, the Western Front mustered their strength and managed to defeat the Eastern front.
