The Brusilov Offensive, Russia's final large-scale assault in World War I, is remembered as one of the most ferocious and strategically brilliant operations in all of military history. Its staggering intensity crippled not only the Austrian Empire, hastening its collapse, but also drained the Russian monarchy of its final reserves of strength, contributing to its ultimate downfall.
