As the Eastern Front falls silent, conflict flares in East Africa and Italy
In short: This episode covers the 175th week of the Great War, highlighting the Battle of Ngomano, the cessation of fighting on the Eastern Front, and the publication of secret Russian treaties. It also examines tactical shifts at Cambrai and morale-boosting efforts on the Italian front.
In East Africa, Lettow-Vorbeck’s forces secured a decisive victory against the Portuguese at the Battle of Ngomano. Simultaneously, the Eastern Front experienced a lull in combat as Trotsky released secret treaties previously negotiated between Russia and the Allies.
Elsewhere, the Battle of Cambrai saw ongoing exchanges and the introduction of Hutier assault tactics. On the Italian Front, Armando Diaz implemented strategic changes intended to bolster the morale of his troops.
