Alexander Samsonov
Alexander Samsonov commanded the Russian Army at the Battle of Tannenburg. This battle was a disaster for both Samsonov and the Russian Army.Samsonov was born in 1858 and he spent his earliest years in the Russian Army as a cavalry officer. Samsonov served in the Russo-Turkish War of 1877-1878 and in 1914, was given the command of the Russian Second Army when World War One broke out in 1914. The Russian Second Army, along with the First Army, was given the task of invading East Prussia. The attack was Samsonov's first real military challenge and it ended in disaster. He failed to co-ordinate the movements of the Second Army with those of the First Army as he had fallen out with Rennenkampf who commanded the First Army.

WWI
The Battle of Tannenburg was Russia’s worst defeat in World War One. In fact, the Russian army never fully recovered from the battle at Tannenburg and the contribution of Russia’s disillusioned army to the February/March Russian Revolution has been well chronicled. At the start of the war, Alexander Samsonov was appointed commander of the Russian Second Army. His brief in August 1914 was to invade East Prussia along with General Rennenkampf’s First Army. The start of the campaign went well for Russia. The German commander facing Samsonov, Maximilian Prittwitz, was sacked by Helmuth von Moltke, Germany’s Chief of Staff, for ordering his Eighth Army to retreat as Samsonov’s Second Army advanced.

The government structure of the United States of America is divided in three branches; The Legislative, the Executive and the Judicial branch. In the United States of America, the head of government (the US President) shares his powers with Congress and the Judiciary system which are independent on each other but at the same time depend on each other’s decisions to function correctly . The country is a Federal constitutional Republic therefore the constitution is the supreme law of the land. There are many differences between the US Democracy and that of other countries since every state of the Union holds enough power to make their own reforms as long as it does not contradict the Constitutional powers and the country is mainly ruled by two political parties.
