The Battle of the Vistula River[k], also known as the Battle of Warsaw and Ivangorod[l], was a major Russian victory against Germany and Austria-Hungary on the Eastern Front during the First World War.[13]
The battle is one of the largest and most important battles in the First World War, one of the most striking victories of the Russian army, which showed that the Russian troops are strong and can resist the Germans. Both sides suffered heavy losses. The battle also became a kind of psychological turning point. The Russians, believing in their own strength, recovered from the defeat at the Battle of Tannenberg, and became confident that they were superior to the Germans. This confidence helped them to win the Battle of Lodz a few days later.[14]
