Mathematically correct counting of the military capabilities of opponent, but ignoring the political, economic and cultural aspects of war, and on the other hand counting only the moral issues - the "Plan" of warfare, instead of the power of modern weapons. The combat plans of Russian and Austro-Hungarian Empires were organized and heavily influenced by their partners, France and Germany. This work is describing the evolution of the military thought and plans of the belligerent sides - "Entente" and "Triple Alliance", in a pre-war period, and shows the real development of the situation during the first battles of the war.
