ABSTRACT
In 1915 the war became much more global – Italy sided with Britain and France and the Bulgarians threw in their lot with the Central Powers. Both sides were confronted by strategic dilemmas over where they could best exploit their military might to advantage. Equally, the list of casualties was growing ever longer as the stalemate of the trench fighting intensified. Neutral powers, particularly the United States, were also feeling the war’s impact.
