Summer Campaign of 1915 – August-September.
EAST
On the Eastern Front, the back-and-forth of offensive and defensive actions continues. Neither side is able to master the other, as the Germans struggle to counter a major Entente offensive in the West and the Russians continue to struggle with their perennial supply and command issues. With the end of the German offensive in the Western Ukraine, the Russian counteroffensive toward Eastern Prussia and Warsaw, and the battle for the Przemysl Fortress in Galicia, the fighting is far from over in the Summer of 1915. The fate of millions his hinging on the results of the battle between the armies struggling from the Baltic to the Black Sea
After the Ottoman raid on Alexandria and the Russian one on the Bosphorus Strait, both Kolchak and Souchon are once more on a collision course for an epic naval battle in the Black Sea, the prize being mastery of the sea for either the Entente or the Central Powers.
The Middle East continues to reel from the flames of war. In the Sinai, the Entente forces are poised to make a play for Palestine, while the British are in trouble in Mesopotamia, with their forces encircled in the town of Kut Al-Amara, south of Baghdad. The Caucasus Front is rekindled by a Germano-Turkish offensive on Batum in an attempt to break the deadlock in the south and unhinge the Russian Empire.
WEST
The Italian Apulian counteroffensive is in full swing, with the Entente forces retreating south in disarray and the Central Powers gaining control of the Central Mediterranean following the success of Operation Hydra in July 1915. But hope is on the horizon for the Anglo-British and the French as new ships sent from the Royal Navy’s Grand Fleet and the U.S. Navy in the British Home waters finally arrive to bolster Carden’s Eastern Mediterranean Squadron and Japanese Admiral Togo’s Western Mediterranean Fleet based in Gibraltar. With their combined might, they are poised to force von Spee back into the safety of the Italian ports.
The fight for France had now become one of the most critical focal points of the war, with the Anglo-French-American Nantes offensives directed toward St. Nazaire, where half of the German High Seas Fleet is anchored. The Germans are getting overwhelmed at every turn, and the Entente forces have conquered half of the city by the end of August, threatening to break through and shatter the German yoke in Western and Northern France. The Reich’s OHL rushes troops to the area, reducing its fighting power in the East and against Verdun.
Franz von Hipper’s raiding fleet, now in the Indian Ocean and bound for German East Africa and General Paul von Lettow-Vorbeck, is about to fight a battle for its very survival in the Comoros Islands, while the British and American ring of ships closes in from all sides.
This is the story of the Great War that might have been.
