It always fascinated me that, for how static WW1 was in the western front for most of the conflict due to trench warfare, it was, on the other hand, quite mobile in the Eastern one.

Russia dont like to talk about it because they lost and western historians are fixated on the western front the few times they delve into the first war, so it's very frustrating trying to find any decent books on the subject. Theres a large overview book on the subject by Nick Lloyd coming out in late March though. I have it on pre order so cant say if it's any good but it's a part of his trilogy, the first of which is brilliant and avoids the usual endless Somme and Passchendaele cliches. Prit Buttar also does great books on ww1 eastern front but they might be far too in depth if you are just starting to learn about it.

It's amazing how little coverage the Eastern Front gets given how important it was in world history. I guess the USSR wasn't particularly interested in glorifying the Russian Empire's battles and the countries that fought on the west likely wanted to play up their own achievements which means not emphasizing the importance of the East. The English speaking internet is also dominated by countries that didn't fight on the Eastern Front so that may also have something to do with it.

It very nearly almost was. If the Germans had been more successful in the west, the war would've been a loss for the Entente and a quick negotiate peace likely. If the Russians were more successful, Ottomans never intervene, Italians join sooner, war is totally unwinnable for the Central Powers and a quick negotiate peace likely. Both sides massively miscalculated and fumbled the bag, leading to the stalemate. Germans got crushed at Marne, Russians at Tannenburg. If only 1 of those two great victories did not occur, a peace in 1915 seems highly plausible.

Ouch, I believe Battle of Tannenberg was too simplified to satisfy me. I've been trying to learn as much as possible about this battle (since I was born in the city that was one of the first invaded by Samsonow's 2nd Army), and I think you've missed key elements of that battle. First of all, when Russians attacked from the south, general von Prittwitz decided to abandon East Prussia, and retreat onto the defensive line on the river Vistula. That's why Russians managed to break through so easily so deeply, almost reaching Allenstein from the south. Then von Prittwitz was replaced by famous duo of Hindenburg and Ludendorff, after lower general von Francois complained to von Moltke (chief of the entire German Army) about von Prittwitz plans to abandon whole region, giving up key positions almost for free. When Hindenburg and Ludendorff took power over 8th army, their approach changed massively. You were right, that it was mostly based on intercepted radio communication, but they wanted to defend East Prussia anyway. They managed to transport many troops (I think about 50K soldiers) from Konigsberg region, around Western part of East Prussia down to Iława-Działdowo (Deutsch Eylau - Soldau) region, and attack them from the West. Important battle of Uzdowo (Usdau) happend, led by german's general von Francois, which scared russian general Artamonow - who then completely abandoned his positions, leaving russian left flank completely undefenced - he jumped about 50 kilometers south, creating a huge gap for von Francois troops to encircle Russians from South. On the same time, german general Mackensen followed russian general Martos, who was retreating from Allenstein to cover russian right flank, because he thought he went too deep. That allowed Germans to encircle Russian 2nd Army from East. Two German Generals meet around Wielbark (Willenberg), completing encirclement. Martos was caught and defeated by Mackensen, becoming PoW himself. Legend says that Martos was held in a hotel in Nidzica (Neidenburg), in the same room he was staying just a few days later, when he took that Town with his army. Legend goes even further - he was treated well, because he prevented typical war chaos in the Town, stopped his soldiers from robbing citizens with harsh penalties - so he was held in good conditions. Okay, maybe I went with too much details, but I believe that changing leadership of 8th German Army was crucial. And on the other hand, another key element was missed. During the battle, Germans decided to send two corps present in France, to use them in East Prussia. Ludendorff after the battle said, that they got into East Prussia too late to be used in that battle, and those corps being not present in France meant Germans didn't have enough power to take over Paris - that Germans needed exactly those two corps to win battle of Marna.

These events were preceded by the Battle of Gumbien, which convinced the Germans to withdraw their troops beyond the Vistula, as planned according to the Schliefen plan. However, then, as you wrote, the Germans pulled troops from the right flank at the Battle of the Marne (6 army corps along with artillery and the VIII cavalry division) to defend the ancient Prussian capital. Also in this video it is shown that the Russians in East Prussia had 500k people, which is of course a very overestimate. The armies of Samsonvoa and Rennekampf did not advance fully mobilized and their number did not exceed 125 thousand. 5 divisions were surrounded.

Also, people tend to forget or simply not pay attention that it wasn't just some 3-nation front, as it would be during WW2, for most of the time there were occupied nations dragged by empires into fighting each other to save lifes of Germans/Austrians/Russians, sometimes even with people of same nationality pointing guns at their compatriots without even knowing that fact. That's the main reason i consider this war a bloody mess, not the amount of explosives used, or new god-forsaken weaponry, or a stalemate on the western front.

Really great video and thank you for covering WW1 in more detail. Much love from Germany. I hope you can talk about the importance of Przemysl in the next video. The Austro-Hungarians lost hundreds of thousands of men in a vain attempt at relieving the garrison and completely broke their army on the Russian defenses in the Winter of 1914/15. From 1915 onwards the Austro-Hungarians would never again be able to really launch an offensive of their own. In these early battles for Przemysl the AH empire lost much of its (somewhat) decent officers and good soldiers. It's seldom talked about how these battles broke the army of one of the major powers of Europe. Anyway I also hope you can make videos about both the serbian and greek fronts of WW1 in the future. It's quite fascinating to see how Serbia held on as long as they did and the international army fighting in Greece (without Greeces' permission) is a really unique situation.

WWI was before armored vehicles and aircraft could support infantry. Not to mention radios hadn't been properly established making communication with artillery difficult. This made infantry extremely deadly as little could be done to counter the accuracy and lethality of rifles. Which was why so little ground captured would cost the lives of hundreds of thousands.
