Fall 1915



As Germany heads north to challenge British naval superiority, the Russian fleet moves across the German border into Prussia. France meets the Germans outside Belgium in what can only lead to a long stalemate dominated by trench warfare.

Austria-Hungary attempts to take Serbia in retaliation for the assasination of royal heir Archduke Franz Ferdinand by Gavrilo Princip and the Black Hand, but the Austrian forces prove insufficient to complete the job. The Austro-Hungarian attacking Russian Sevastopol fails for the same reason.

On the battlefield, the British and Ottoman Empires remain strangely silent in 1915, though the Ottoman Empire oversees the deportation and murder of some 2.5 million Armenians, accusing the minority of conspiring with the enemy Russians.

The Kingdom of Italy, going east in 1914, turns its fleets west in 1915.

The war goes on...
