There was another quiet sector on the Western Front, near the French town of Festubert. There was a major battle there in 1915, but anyone stationed there in the following years would have felt as if the war had passed them by. One visitor to this sector described seeing troops polishing brass “like a bunch of housewives.”

Putting the Italian front on here is just absurd and clearly poorly researched. Just like the western front there was daily artillery fire and never ending micro battles. I've been reading the Austro-Hungarian official history of the war and just because you won't find these battles online in any English sources doesn't mean there weren't thousands of casualties daily in actions you've never heard of. The front was certainly industrialized warfare you for some reason claim wasn't.

@foxtrotcharlie1619 3 ай бұрын

I find the description of the Piave battle a bit misleading and highly semplistic. The Austro-German forces were not halted singlehandedly by the french and british divisions sent on the Piave. They certainly helped but were only a small part of the whole front.

Nitpick on the Alpine Front: not only the Italians attacked first there, it was never abandoned, they were just doing it by blowing up mountains held by the enemy.

The least significant fighting that took place maybe in German New Guinea where there was some shooting between Australians and German Papuan auxiliaries in 1914 but I don't remember where exactly.

@IanPendleton-gh6ox 3 ай бұрын

I believe you're talking about the Battle of Bita Paka, which occurred on September 11th 1914 and resulted in elements of an Australian expeditionary force defeating a mixed force of German reservists and local police. The remaining reservists and police retreated to the town of Toma, where they would surrender to the Australians on the 17th of September. I'll leave links to their Wikipedia articles below if you're interested in finding out more. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_Bita_Paka en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Siege_of_Toma

The Aussies were the 1st to engage German forces on German turf. The naval guns at Queenscliff, Victoria actually fired on a German freighter that day after war was declared in 1914. It was trying to sneak out of Port Phillip Bay...cheeky kraut.

War Thunder, but the grind is brutal. World of Tanks is far more arcade like and far more frustrating in my opinion. So much pay win bs in that one. Either way prepare to have your patience tested.

Hey has anyone seen the movie "Lawrence of Arabia?" If you haven't I would suggest that you do. It stars some pretty notable actors. One of which would later go on to play Obi-Wan Kenobi in the first Star Wars Trilogy.

Two nitpicks on the Piave: the main responsible for Caporetto was Badoglio, but his connections covered his ass; and the English and French reinforcements arrived when the First Army and remnants of the Second had already stopped the Austro-Hungarian offensive, and would maintain a secondary role compared to the Italians and the largest part of the Czekoslovac Legion.
