- Abstract
The invasion of Serbia in October 1915 saw the Serbian army, which had fought off three separate invasions by Austria-Hungary the year before, driven out of Serbia within six weeks. A critical land route to Turkey and Bulgaria was opened, and Austria-Hungary's southern flank was secured. The forces of the Central Powers made extensive use of the most modern technology of the day--including railroads, bridging, aircraft, artillery and telephone--and demonstrated their potential. This article suggests that while they gave the Central Powers a major edge early, the campaign also revealed the limits of these technologies.
