Fall 1917



RUSSIA BEGINS WHAT COULD BE ITS LAST DAYS OF THE WAR: While the Eastern Front appears to be collapsing on the part of the Allied Powers, the Western Front has the potential to stabilize to the advantage of the Central Powers.

Forces from Austria-Hungary, Germany and Italy surround the remaining Russian forces as the Ottoman Empire boots the Russian fleet from Ankara.

On the Western Front, the first coordinated French attack in, well, a really long time leads to the German army being pushed back to Belgium. The British attempt to join in the fray but are rebuffed by neutral Holland upon attempting to dock in its ports.

Italy breaks out of the Mediterranean, providing a new threat to France from the west.
