章節 478: Chapter 378: Reactions of Different Countries and the Impact of War

On August 6th, the war in Europe fully ignited, with the Allies and the Allied Nations declaring war on each other, involving six of the world's eight great powers in the conflict.

While the outbreak of war caught many off guard, the neutrality of one country came as a surprise to many.

As a member of the Allied Nations, the Italians expressed their intention to remain neutral to the outside world after the Austro-Hungarian Empire declared war on Russia Nation.

This resulted in the already disadvantaged Allied Nations losing the considerable naval power of Italy, widening the gap between them and the Allies.

Unless the German army can create a significant advantage on land, the war will continue to be one-sided as it goes on.

On August 5th, the second day after the war broke out, the Australasia Ministry of Defense began urgently preparing personnel and weapons for the upcoming offensive, planning to launch an attack on German colonies in the Pacific Ocean as soon as possible.
