July 17, 1914
Austria-Hungary There is a report that Serbia has mobilized 70,000 reservists and is preparing for war.

July 17, 1915
Eastern Front Heavy fighting continues along the Wolitsa. Gallwitz has advanced only about 5 miles, but has inflicted 70% casualties on Litvinov’s army. Mikhail Alexeev, commanding Northern Front, tries to establish a new line on the Narew, but Litvinov continues to use the same faulty defensive tactics.
Albania The Serbs give in to Italian pressure and evacuate Durazzo, but retain neighboring strongpoints.
Diplomatic Relations Bulgaria signs a secret treaty with the Central Powers committing to enter the war in the fall. Turkey cedes some European territory to the Bulgarians.

July 17, 1916
Western Front, Somme The British take Waterlot Farm and clear Ovillers. The French repulse more counterattacks at La Maisonette.
Baltic Sea Russian torpedo boats capture two steamers, of 7200 tons, in the Gulf of Bothnia. Sweden protests this as a violation of neutrality as one of the ships was carrying a Swedish pilot.
German East Africa The British capture two German steamers on Lake Victoria.
Britain The Trade Unions recommend postponement of vacations in munitions industries.

July 17, 1917
Western Front The French retake some lost positions at Verdun.
Eastern Front The Russians are on the defensive in Galicia. They hold firm this day.
Russia The Bolsheviks assume leadership of the increasingly violent protests despite Lenin’s objection that it is too soon to attempt a takeover. The government tries to use force to disperse the mobs. More than 700 people are killed or wounded. Fighting spreads through the city.
Britain The name of the Royal family is changed from the German Saxe-Coburg-Gotha to Windsor. Churchill returns to the government as Minister of Munitions.

July 17, 1918
Western Front The Germans renew the attack at the Marne, making headway against the French center, but nowhere else. The French defeat a German attack south of Prunay. French troops retake and re-lose Montvoison. As the day closes, Ludendorff, realizing that his objectives are beyond reach, cancels the offensive and departs for Crown Prince Rupprecht’s headquarters at Tournai to plan another offensive. Although they have fallen well short of his goals, the five Ludendorff offensives have gained the Germans ten times an much ground as the Allies captured in 1917, while inflicting 448,000 British and 490,000 French casualties. But the cost to Germany – 963,000 casualties – is also staggering, and, unlike the Allies, he has no pool of recruits left. He is also in peril of losing his allies, and he has no new ally to counterbalance the ever-growing presence of the Americans, who are now arriving at a rate of 300,000 a month.

July 17, 1919
Hungary The Hungarians preempt the Allied attack on the Tisza with one of their own. They have some 51,000 men opposed by 60,000 Rumanians. A 3-day bombardment opens the attack.
