The Danubian War took place between the Habsburg Government of Austria-Hungary and numerous independence movements. The end of the war resulted in the Vienna Convention of 1938, and eventual dissolution of Austria-Hungary.

After the loss at the Second Battle of Bratislava, Austrian Emperor Karl I agreed to a negotiation in Vienna, which would be mediated by Germany.

Immediately, there was controversy over the Austrian territory. Austrian delegates refused to give up the Sudetenland, which led to Austria and Bohemia coming to an agreement to hold a plebiscite, where the Sudeten Germans voted to join Austria. Beyond that, Austria refused to give up any territory which was part of the main provinces, only agreeing to cede Slovenia, but keeping the city of Trieste as a puppet state for the Austrian navy.

In addition, Hungary was forced to give up swaths of land. Slovakia was ceded to Bohemia as a puppet state, Southern Transylvania was set up as an independent Romanian puppet state, and were forced to agree to limitations on their military.

The Battle of the Angara River took place between forces of the White and Red armies during the Russian Civil War. The Red Army victory paved the way for the future Battle of Irkutsk and the fall of the Russian State.

Battles of Novosibirsk–Omsk

[edit]

With the war increasingly turning against the Whites, Kolchak ordered Grigory Semyonov to split the 14th Army into two separate armies. The 19th Army, which was to defend Novosibirsk, and the 16th Army, which was to defend Omsk. Despite the arrival of reinforcements, Brusilov's 7th Siberian Army still outnumbered the Novosibirsk–Omsk Army Group by 11,000 troops. The combined assault at Omsk led to the near annihilation of the 16th Siberian White Army, and the capture (and eventual execution) of its commander, Anatoly Pepelyayev. Kornilov's 19th Army engaged Brusilov at the Battle of Novosibirsk, with the White Army once again retreating, this time all the way to the west bank of the Angara River.

Kolchak's Involvment

[edit]

Following the loss at Novosibirsk, Kolchak ordered what was left of the 19th army to begin working on fortyfing the East Bank of the Angara, and put Kornilov in charge of the operation. On January 17th, 1922, the 19th Army, Mikhail Kvetsinsky's 17th Army, and 3 local volunteer divisions were merged into the South Angara Army. As the Red Army advanced, Kolchak personally travalled to Chistyi to take command of the defence.

Angara Green Army

[edit]

The area around the Angara River was a hotbed for Anti-Bolshevik and Anti-White Army resistance since the October Revolution and the signing of the Brest-Litovsk Treaty, and in late 1921, a peasant revolt took control of the Angara Forest. This Green Army was led by Konstantin Voskoboinik and Grurov Cherdansovich (the latter was killled during a raid against white forces in Bryansk). Following guerilla raids by the Greens, Kolchak ordered around 11,000 troops to charge into the Angara Forest to wipe out the Greens. Out of around 9,000 Green Army troops, only 600 survived the Angara Forest Clashes. The Angara Green Army would surrender to Kolchak shortly after the Soviet victory.

Assault over the Angara River

[edit]

During mid-day on the 18th, Brusilov arrived at the banks of the Angara, and began scouting operations immediaely.[2] He decided to prepare for a full River crossing that night, and allowed his troops to rest. Despite Brusilov's advantage, Kolchak decided to strike first, launching a massive artillery barrage on Soviet positions. At around 2:40 AM on the 19th, Brusilov gave the signal to attack.[3] An initial shelling followed by a massive charged destroyed the defenders, and forced them to fall back to the forest.

Angara Forest

[edit]

For about an hour, the Soviets battled the Whites, until eventually the South Angara White Army was routed. Roughly 25,000 troops escaped, of which 23,000 made it to Irkutsk, but the remaining 27,000 troops were surrounded in the Angara Forest, where they were anhilated. Out of the 27,000 troops in the forest, only around a thousand were captured, with the rest being killed. Among the dead was the General Mikhail Kvetsinsky, who was identified after the battle.[4]

Aftermath

[edit]

The Battle of the Angara River is often cited as the final nail in the coffin for the White Army, who never recovered from such a humiliating defeat. At this point, the Whites had lost nearly 100,000 men in three battles, retreated over 2,000 kilometers eastward, and all with the Red Army only losing around 30,000 men.

Around three months later, the Battle of Irkutsk took place, where roughly 22,000 men, including Kornilov and Semyonov, surrendered to the Red Army. Alexander Kolchak, attempted to flee north, but was captured at Bratsk, where he was executed by partisans on April 11th. Finally, Diterikhs attempted to flee to Irkutsk as well, but got lost. He was saved by the White Army 2 months later, and was killed at the Battle of Chita.
