At the Battle of Tannenburg in late August 1914, the Central Powers, primarily Germany, achieved a significant victory over Russia. The German forces encircled and decisively defeated the Russian Second Army, resulting in massive casualties and the capture of tens of thousands of Russian soldiers. This victory not only boosted German morale but also weakened Russian military capabilities on the Eastern Front, altering the dynamics of World War I in favor of the Central Powers.
