    BRUSILOV OFFENSIVE

    By: Liz and Thao


    Background
    • The Brusilov Offensive began on the 4 th of June, 1916 in Lutsk. The
    Russian army was divided into 3 part. The 3 divisions were the
    Northern Front, Eastern Front and the Southwestern Front but we
    are focusing on the Brusilov Offensive so we are talking about the
    Southwestern Front, lead and directed by Gerneral Alekxei Brusilov.
    This battle involved Russia and Austria-Hungary but the Central
    Power also got involved.
    Brusilov Offensive’s strategy
    • There was a lack of moves
    and action assign for the
    Southwestern Front so the
    commander, Alekxei
    Brusilov, decided to
    arrange an attack. The plan
    was rejected at first
    because the 2 other
    Generals chose to remain
    defensively. The plan was
    pushed back and forth until
    the Czar gave a chance for
    the offensive. The plan was
    to surprisingly launch an
    attack in May, 1916. The
    Russian army aimed to take
    over Kovel, Lamburg and
    Stanislav. They were given
    6 weeks which means 1
    month and a half to
    prepare for the big battle.
    Battle of Lutsk
    • This was the battle that gave a head start for the Brusilov Offensive.
    General Josef Ferdinand, the commander of Austrian army at Lutsk,
    was very arrogant and he believed that his plan was successful until
    the Russian army broke his defense line on the fourth of June. The
    Austrian unfortunately got captured and imprisoned instead of
    escaping. The sudden attack plan of Russia gave General Ferdinand
    a shock.
    What happened and how it ended?
    • It was a major move for the Russian by the time the battle started
    but it soon got doomed by the ignorance of Alekxei Evert. The
    Russian army fought aggressively and intensely and soon got tired
    so the army weakened. Their supplies were also decreasing. Using
    this huge opportunity the Germany’s commander, Ludendorff, sent
    troops from Evert’s western army to Brusilov’s Southwestern front
    help his army and wiped out the Russian army there.
    The Battle significance
    • This battle was considered Russia’s “the greatest feat of arms”
    during WWI. However this was not a big lost because it effects the
    strength of Central Power. Central Power was no longer as
    powerful as it used to be.
    Brusilov Ofensive’s outcome and results
    • It has been reported that there were huge damages done to both
    the Russian and Austro-Hungarian armies.
    • This offensive was near to a huge success but because of the main
    goal of this plan was not achieved so it was considered a failure.
    • Russia lost about 500 thousand men.
    • Austria-Hungary lost about 350 thousand men.
