The Germans used the triangle of ports Ostend-Bruges-Zeebrugge’s as a base to launch submarine attacks on British ships. During 1917 submarines from these harbours sank almost a third of all ships that were destroyed.
The British bombarded the coastline of Flanders several times to end this treat. The Germans response was to add so many canons on the coast that the British gave up.
Subsequently the Royal Navy tried to block the canals that linked Ostend and Zeebrugge’s by sinking old cruisers in the canals. The first strike on Ostend and Zeebrugge’s happened om 22 April 1918. The attack on Zeebrugge’s was successful the one on Ostend not. 2 more strikes followed a few weeks later.

Mood images of the Russian revolutions of 1905 and 1917 Russia. The Russian revolution of 1905 was mainly caused by socio-economic unrest and the defeat of Russia in the war against Japan. The result was political reform that led to the establishment of the state Duma and the Russian constitution.
The Monarchy stayed in power and gave up some of its power, but it was not enough to satisfy the more well-off, better educated and more emancipated people of Russia.
The government stayed corrupt and inefficient. The Czar did not really accept any authority of the Duma. This led to a mismanagement of the Russian state during the years following 1905. In world War I this led to a climax which caused the February revolution of 1917. A provisional government took over, but it did not manage to improve the situation much. Eventually a second revolution happened in October of 1917. The Soviet of Workers” and soldiers’ deputies which was by then dominated by the Bolsheviks staged a coup. A new government was formed which was mainly composed of Bolshevik commissars.
The movie shows images of the mood in the Russian cities in 1905 and 1917.
