The Eastern Front was the main theater of conflict between Russian, German, and Austro-Hungarian troops during World War I. It extended from the Baltic Sea in the north to the Black Sea in the south, encompassing a vast area of Eastern Europe. The front saw significant battles and shifting lines, with German and Austro-Hungarian forces often engaging in combat against the Russian Army. This front was characterized by mobility and large-scale maneuvers, unlike the trench warfare prevalent on the Western Front.
Yes, the Battle of Tannenberg, fought from August 26 to August 30, 1914, was a significant defeat for the Russian army during World War I. The German forces, led by Generals Hindenburg and Ludendorff, encircled and decimated the Russian Second Army, resulting in heavy casualties and the capture of tens of thousands of Russian soldiers. This defeat severely undermined Russian morale and military effectiveness in the early stages of the war.

It is called the Battle of Tannenberg and was fought on what at the time was German territory. It is now on Poland near Olstyn (Allenstein in German).
Germany did invade Russia and battles were fought in Russia with the German army. The Germans were not very successful in their occupation.
The Battle of Britain refers to the German bombardment of British towns, notably London in 1940. It was fought between the Luftwaffe and the Royal Air Force.
This was a major battle fought in East Prussia between the invading Russian army and Germany from 17 August 1914 - 2 September 1914. It was arugably the most spectacular and clearcut German victory of World War 1. However, the Germans had not expected Russia to attack so early and theymoved troops eastwards from the Western Front, which may have played a part in the failure of the Schlieffen Plan. It was at Tannenberg that Hindenburg and Ludendorff first became known to the wider German public, though most of the planning was done by Colonel Max Hoffmann. Hindenburgbecame the 'myth of Tannenberg'.

One German army fought against two Russian armies. The Germans won, and completely destroyed one of the Russian armies (it was so bad that the Russian general commanding the destroyed army commited suicide). That same German army would, about a week later, face the other Russian army again and smash it too. These two battles made heroes of the German commanders (Hindenburg and Ludendorff), and shocked the Russians, and this event likely marked the very start of the downward spiral which would result in revolution and civil war in Russia.

In World War 1 Germany's western front was between Germany and France.French, British, and much later Americansoldiers fought German soldiers across this front.
The Assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand of Austria, was something that the German used before the war started. Next, Austria-Hungary seeks German support for a war against Serbia in case of Russian militarism and Germany gives assurances of support. By 1917, a full war was fought.
