The attack marked the high point of the war for the Russian army. While they lost more than 500,000 men, they inflicted well over a million casualties on the Austrians, effectively knocking them out of the war. After Brusilov’s offensive, the Austrian army would largely fall under the command of the Germans and no longer fight as an independent unit. The Russian offensive also achieved its primary goal of taking pressure off the French at Verdun. Finally, Brusilov’s victory brought Romania into the war on the side of the Allies. However, this may have hurt the Allied cause as much as it helped, as Romania required Russian reinforcements to assist with efforts against Bulgaria and Austria.
