This campaign was followed by the British attack of the Gallipoli Peninsula. First, Britain and France launched an unsuccessful attack on the Dardanelles. As a result, much of 1915 was subjugated by Allied actions against the Ottomans in the Mediterranean. The Ottoman Empire: In the end of 1914, the Ottoman Empire was brought into the fight as well, after Germany deceived Russia into thinking that Turkey had attacked it. The fronts in the east also slowly locked into place. Following the Battle of the Marne (September 5-9, 1914), the western front became entrenched in central France and remained that way for the rest of the war. In the south, Austria-Hungary attacked Serbia. In the east, Russia attacked both Germany and Austria-Hungary. In the west, Germany attacked first Belgium and then France. The Western and Eastern Fronts: The first month of battle consisted of brave outbreaks and rapid troop movements on both fronts. Western and eastern fronts rapidly opened along the borders of Germany and Austria-Hungary. Soon, Germany, Russia, Great Britain, and France were all drawn into the war, largely because they were involved in treaties that obligated them to protect certain other nations. This apparently small conflict between two countries spread rapidly. This war began on July 28, 1914, when Austria-Hungary confirmed war on Serbia. The war was also fought at a high point of nationalism and faith in the existing social hierarchy, beliefs that the war itself helped destroy, and that the modern world finds very hard to understand. World War-1 was the first mass global war of the industrialized age, a demo of the remarkable strength, resilience and massacre power of modern states. It is also sometimes applied to other wars such as the War of the Spanish Succession, the Seven Years' War, the Cold War and Cold War II, a hypothetical World War III and even the Napoleonic Wars, if the United States is counted as a belligerent, as it was in the War of 1812 with Great Britain.
