The Battle of Tannenberg

The Battle of Tannenberg was fought on August 26-30, 1914, between the German and Russian armies. The battle was a decisive German victory, and it dealt a crushing blow to the Russian army. The German victory was due in part to the brilliant leadership of General Erich Ludendorff, who outmaneuvered the Russian forces and forced them into a trap.

The Russo-Japanese War

The Russo-Japanese War was fought between Russia and Japan from 1904 to 1905. The war was a major upset, as Japan defeated Russia, a much larger and more powerful country. The Japanese victory was due in part to their superior military training and tactics. The war also revealed the weakness of the Russian Empire, which was already in decline.

The Russo-Polish War

The Russo-Polish War was fought between Poland and the Soviet Union from 1920 to 1921. The war was a Polish victory, and it helped to secure Poland's independence. The Polish victory was due in part to the leadership of Marshal Józef Piłsudski, who outmaneuvered the Soviet forces and forced them to retreat.

From Tannenberg to the Russo-Polish War is a comprehensive military history of Eastern Europe in the early 20th century. Keegan provides a clear and concise account of the major conflicts of the period, and he also examines the political and social factors that led to these conflicts.
