War in the trenches: in in early 1915 soldiers dug long trenches parallel to each other this type of warfare is trench warfare many lives were lost during this a soldier wrote they slept in the mud, ate mud, washed in mud and dreamed mud there were rats in there too and only resulted them in gaining little land claims and the land in between the trenches was called no man's land because anyone who left it would instantly die in the barren and burnt land.

Early fighting:At the beginning of the war, Russian forces had launched an attack into both Austria and Germany.  At the end of August, Germany counterattacked near the town of Tannenberg. With a four day battle happening the Germans crushed the Russians and killed over 30,000. The Russians fared better against Austrians and defeated them twice in September but was defeated in December.

Russia struggles: By 1916, Russia’s war effort was near collapse. Unlike the nations of western Europe, Russia had yet to become industrialized. As a result, the Russian army was continually short on food, guns, ammunition, clothes,boots, and blankets.  with the short supply in supplies along without trade from the sea they didn't have enough supplies to last. Their only advantage was numbers they lost many troops but were able to gain back their numbers due to their large population. Germany and her allies, however, were concerned with more than just the Eastern or Western Front. As the war raged on, fighting spread beyond Europe to Africa, as well as to Southwest and Southeast Asia. In the years after it began, the massive European conflict indeed became a world war.
