The War Is Everywhere Defying Western Front Narrowness
The writer argues that the war cannot be won by focusing only on the western front. Russia’s collapse and Germany’s propaganda gain importance, demanding allied efforts across fronts. A broad strategy includes aiding Russia, guarding seas, building ships, aiding Italy and the Balkans, breaking Austria, and using all economic, military, and naval means against the Hohenzollern–Habsburg power. The piece notes the danger of total German advantage if Russia remains unrevived. The war is everywhere and must be fought wherever Germany is vulnerable.
