Austria fought the Italians in Triest and although the Viennese army failed to set up camp in Triest, it did manage to keep the Italians out.
To the east Austrian and Russian armies both claimed Galicia, and bounced.
The Russian and the Turkish fleet had a similar argument and identical results over the Black Sea.
The French accused the Germans of overstepping their boundaries after the Parisian army successfully fought of the Munich army in Burgundy.
The only country that did not have any collisions was England.
If this Spring sets the mood for the coming seasons, we'll see the lands and waters color red with the blood of young privates and sailors.
Wives and children are left behind crying for the loss of their husbands and fathers.
In all countries citizens are calling upon their leaders to find a diplomatic solution.
