100% positive over last year (Description
1915 was characterised by deadlock and a widening of the conflict.
This was typified by the ill-fated allied landings in Turkey and the entry of
Italy into the war.
1915 was to see warfare take on a new dimension with the bombing of British
cities by Zeppelin airships. Germany also began U-Boat attacks on neutral
shipping, a policy that would contribute to the United States entering the war.
Gas was also used for the first time. The Germans utilised it with limited
success against Russian forces at Bolimov but, at the Second Battle of Ypres,
the full devastating effects of gas became clear with severe losses on both
British and German sides.
The Italians faced awful hardships too as the twelve battles along the Isonzo
River, in present day Slovenia, were to end in stalemate or disaster.
The year ended with the Allies making their withdrawal from Gallipoli. In many
ways that event typifies their fortunes through 1915, small gains at an enormous
cost in men`s lives.
