jun 18, 1917 - June Offensive

Description:

Russian minister of war Alexander Karensky launches an offensive against Austria-Hungary forces in Galicia.

Although the Russian effort is initially successful, the soldiers soon refuse to leave their trenches and fight due to low morale caused by the Revolution. Soldiers’ committees debate orders and encourage soldiers to disobey officers. Many soldiers return home to take part in redistribution of land.

The offensive collapses four days later and Russian troops have to respond to the Austrians’ and Germans’ counteroffensive.
