Spring 1908: "The Russian Bear is out of its cage".
 
Spring shows the Russian army taking Munich while other units are closing in on other German territory. Is this the end of the German-Russian friendship? Has Germany upset Russia in any way or was the opportunity irresistable for the Tzar?
All the while the German army was fighting on its Western front against the French. For years the Germans and the French seemed to be locked in a stand-off but recently Germany appeared to gain ground (in Fall it took Burgundy and now it moved on Belgium). Apparently Russia did not like the prospect of such a successful neighbor. As a result the Russians have redrawn the european map.
The French meanwhile are forced out of Belgium despite the support cut by the French fleet in HEL and the by the Russian fleet in NWG. It seems that the French are consolidating their positions by moving into London, Paris, and the Gulf of Lyon.
The Italians and the Turks are still in a stand-off over the Ionian Sea. Was that anticipated by the Turkish Pasha and did he therefor order his fleet to Napels and Eastern Mediterranean?
And England? It did not get much attention from the other Powers this season. We like to believe that this is the result of new negotiations but evil tongues predict this to be the beginning of the end of the English Power.
