The Battle of Khanaqin: Russia's Bold Move in World War I

The Battle of Khanaqin during World War I was a crucial military engagement between Russia and Turkey, led by General Baratov. With a force of 5,000 infantry and 7,500 cavalry, the Russians achieved steady successes in their campaign. This battle was significant not only for the tactical maneuvers employed, such as the use of trenches and surprise attacks, but also for its impact on the besieged British forces at Kut-al-Amara. As World War I ushered in new warfare methods and devastating weapons, like mustard gas and machine guns, the echoes of this battle still resonate today.
