  • 74.12 Turkey and Italy Enter the War, 1915
    The first months of fighting in the First World War had seen no major breakthrough from any side. The Germans had captured about ten percent of France, and reached within sixty miles of Paris, but then reached a stalemate as both sides fortified their positions with great long lines of trenches running from Belgium to the Swiss border.Both sides attempt to bring other countries into the war to help break the stalemate and to tip the balance in their favour. The Italians, though deeply divided, decide in the end to join the side of Britain, France and Russia. And an allied attack against the Ottomans fails at Gallipoli.www.patreon.com/historyeuropewww.historyeurope.netMusic composed by Freredich Chopin, Mazurka in C Sharp MinorPicture - Sinking of the LusitaniaTheme tune for the podcast by Nico Vettese, www.wetalkofdreams.com Hosted on Acast.

  • 74.11 The Eastern Front 1914
    The Russians strike hard against their most powerful enemy, Germany. Austro-Hungary help their German ally although their military forces are under-resourced, in large part because through the years the Hungarian parliament had restricted military finding by using it as a bargaining chip for political concessions.While the Austrians attack Serbia, the Germans achieve a significant victory against Russia at the Battle of Tannenberg.www.patreon.com/historyeuropewww.historyeurope.netMusic composed by Alexander Scriabin - Etude in C Sharp MinorPicture - Tannenberg Bundesarchiv, East Prussian German InfantryTheme tune for the podcast by Nico Vettese, www.wetalkofdreams.com Hosted on Acast.

  • 74.10 The Western Front 1914
    The first main clash of the First World War was on the borders of France and Germany and in Belgium. The Belgians put up more resistance than the Germans expect. However, the Battle of the Frontiers, on the Franco-German border, from 7 August to 6 September 1914 was a disaster for the French army, who suffered very heavy casualties. Meanwhile, the British Expeditionary Force were making their way to the front.The war was set on a grim path of attritional fighting, and with both sides able to draw on millions more men it became virtually impossible to secure an easy victory. As stalemate was reached, the dreadful realisation set in that the combatants would be in this for the long haul.www.patreon.com/historyeuropewww.historyeurope.netMusic composed by Sergei Rachmaninoff (Preludes, Op. 32, Lento, in B minor)Picture - French Bayonet ChargeTheme tune for the podcast by Nico Vettese, www.wetalkofdreams.com Hosted on Acast.

Über A History of Europe, Key Battles

A podcast on European conflicts from the perspective of each side to provide an alternative to the traditional national narratives. Going chronologically from the Ancient Greeks onwards I will describe to some extent how each battle was won or lost by particular decisions, tactics, technology or fortune. But the aim of each main narrative will be to place each battle in the context of the overall history of Europe.
