As world war one was supposed to be over within a few days, England remained confident with all the mechanised equipment from the Boer War in Africa 1899-1902 and with the spoils of Germany on the table even her territories would be handed to Allied Forces in days might agility Russian Forces. In 1914 it was a war nobody would pull free from as Russia went into a single party totalitarian state. Russia had Germany on the run as her Navy captured at first section of the Whelm naval fleet put under Nicolas Tsar.
As Russian ground force of near million equipped troops outside Berlin it left Germany and Whelm in a dilemma, so train warfare begins to train time tables. 'Russia then reported a almost certain truce' as its solders outside Berlin many with cameras as only paintings 'survive today'. Germany pulled out their most feared weapon that 'being mustered gas'. The war turned into a modern explosive chemical warfare. So long war begins by leaving one million trained Russian troops dead in hours outside Berlin as Oder beset Berlin 1914.
As the mood in Russia was calling for surrender due to chaos in conscription lines that couldn't be supplied, German exercised its control of the rail network using the Schlieffen Plan pulled out the biggest weapon called big Bertha mobile cannon. As no food production pulled diseased over Moscow leaving a Russian state in bitter chaos. As Lennon stepped in, promising a treaty with new friend Whelm.

This pulled in Germany against Russia. As her Allie France little to fear pulled in against Germany which attacks France through Belgium so as Germany can guard her valued coal mines, this pulls in England boasting few day win– starting World War One (In Aug. 1914) But the war on the Western Front ‘stalemates’ in northern France just north of Paris as it got a bypass agreement and into Western Belgium, forcing enemies to dig into unmovable positions – which are shelled and bombed mercilessly resulting in a massive loss of life mainly for the Allies; the misery endures, year after year trench warfare with long lines of impenetrable defences healed strong by powerful machine guns round casings almost no mechanism.Constantinople launched three successive attempts to forge
an alliance with London (1908, 1911 and 1913) but each failed. For Britain, the
strategic advantages of an Ottoman alliance were far outweighed by the risk. As England conscripted most of its forces from Ireland, It was clear that most of these men would never return from Gallipoli in Turkey.
In 1916 Ireland
looked for its independence, it was something that popular opinion wanted. Just to
be a ‘freestate’away from the British Parliament, known as the 'House Of Commons'. on 6-12-1921 treaty was signed as a 'Once only Offer'. Indeed it cost a large section of the Irish Population dilemma of uncertainty. As Ireland was still ‘under the viceroy governance’. As previous paid
solders returned from world world war one.
On the 7-Jan-1922 The treaty had narrowly passed by 64 votes to 57 in the dail' It led Ireland into a bloody civil war under the 'Pro-Treaty' actions of the army. Pressure
applied on 22-June 1922 over assassination Sir Henry Wilson in London. Pro-Treaty transitional forces fired there cannon's at random on 'Anti Treaty Protesters' in the 'high court' from the 14-Apr-1922.' On 28-6-1922' the final ultimatum ended in the Battle-of-Dublin. With no law or order this lead the 'Irish parliament by delema'.
As there was no comprehension to the future, the Irish parliament was given an ultimatum by 'Churchill to Govern'. The civil war continued until the truce was formed with the removal of the 'Oath of allegiance' from the 'Irish Constitution'. The Irish civil war was from 28-6-1922 to the 24-5-1923 this left Ireland in a ruined state as Ireland becomes known as a republic. William Thomas Cosgrave in 6-12-1922 becomes 'Ireland's President'. The north remained under 'Union of Britain'. being part of the house of commons picture of the tans in April 1921, auxiliary burnt cork in December 1920
On the Eastern Front the battle is more mobile, with battle lines moving back and forth – but also with a massive loss of life. Russia suffers the most, putting most of her farmers and labourers on the front lines, resulting in a lack of food, clothing and military supplies. Intense war weariness collapses the Russian Tsarist government ('February' 1917), which is replaced by Kerensky's Constitutional Democracy, which nonetheless continues in the war, bringing about a second ('October') revolution which brings Lenin and the Bolsheviks to power and plunges Russia into a long and bloody civil war (1917-1921) near five years of civil war in which the Bolsheviks win a devastated Russia aided by Whelm Kaiser.
Seeing Russia with a new ‘democratic’ government, US President Wilson is ready to bring America into the War (April 1917) in order to make the ‘Great War’ a ‘Crusade for Democracy.’The Germans attempt a last massive push for Paris before the Americans can arrive in great numbers – but fail to reach their objective and find themselves exhausted. When large numbers of American troops arrive in the spring of 1918 the Germans fall back in retreat. Wilson gets an ‘armistice’ (truce), ending the Great War (November 1918) – with no true winners, only vengeful and exhausted losers (though the British + French believe themselves somehow to be the ‘winners’).

Foot note In the final analysis it has been found that Churchill had
said to Irish pro treaty delegation lead by Collins, that the Great War had finished. This
meant the British Army could declare an all out war agents them, on every man woman and child. North Ireland could join at a later date. Churchill put
the question that any further agreements could only be achieved on 'bended knee' the cabinet would have either been
shot or killed fighting as independence force agents, the now ruling British force? Michael Collins signed the pro treaty as the British Army were under pension obligations Irish solders conscripted by the grate war. Then there was another pressure to 'hold Irish State'? This same sort of pressure that came before out brake of the 'Irish Civil War', this is when Britain took a persuasive hand
in the army affairs. This only ended after the conflict ended, this was with an agreement on rule. Royal Irish Constabulary became obsolete as the revolver Webley, Metropolitan Police functioned. Constabulary
Records This was unseen contributor that lead the most viciousness within 'Irish Civil War' as many fell victim, an expense. Then came a transition with the Garda. Eamon De Valera took
the position as leader of Finna Fail. The Irish Free State formed. It is easy to
see how events moved, as structures formed.
