Wednesday, December 16, 1914. Battle of Kolubara concludes. The Scarsborough Raid.

Serbia prevailed in the Battle of Kolubara with the Austro Hungarians suffering 225,000 casualties, including 30,000 killed, 173,000 wounded and 70,000 taken prisoner, including 200 officers, and the Serbians losing h 22,000 killed, 91,000 wounded and 19,000 missing or captured.

Some Germans had to be wondering why they'd gone to war for Austro Hungary.

The Imperial German Navy raided the British ports of Scarborough, Hartlepool, West Hartlepool and Whitby causing hundreds of civilian casualties.

The British were enraged against the Germans for the raid, and the Royal Navy for failing to prevent it.
