Russia can grit its teeth and endure tens of millions of casualties, but can Germany and Austria-Hungary bear millions of casualties?
This is not the time of the First World War; Germany and Austria-Hungary's populations are not as large as they were then.
Currently, according to estimates from various sources, Germany's population should be around 47.8 million, and Austria-Hungary's population should be around 39.8 million, which is already at a decent level compared to other European countries.
Bear in mind that the United Kingdom's population at this time is only 32 million, and France's population is only 39.5 million. Globally, being close to 40 million people can already be considered a populous country.
