Eastern and western front
The eastern and western front greatly differed yet shared some similarities. The eastern front contained the Russian empire, Romania, Austria-Hungary, Bulgaria, and Germany. While the western front was made up of France, uk and it's colonies, Italy, Belgium, United States, Portugal, and Siam. The eastern front had a vital impact on the time period. Surprising as it is, their contries involved weren't entirely prepared for battle. They were ill equipped and very large as well as lacking valuable transportation. They also lost the most amount of people. A total of 3 million people died and over 9 million were severly wounded. The war had the greatest impact on Russia though, causing a lot of damage and the collapse. The remnants from this still exist and are apparent in Russia today. The western front was well known and most famous. Not many people died total despite all the countries involved. The USA and France forced Germany to the Marne and used a series of techniques to obtain control such as trench warfare. Advancement in technology greatly effected the outcome of the war. It both helped and hurt both sides. Each front using different methods to help them overall. Almost every country that participated lost it's form of government on both sides, one thing that they both had in common.
