This paper analyses the latest works of certain British and Croatian authors on the events set into motion by the military operations and battles that took place on the Eastern Front in 1915, during World War I. Their points of views and conclusions on the topic have been represented by placing the works into two separate groups, characterised by the criterion of the author’s approach to the subject at hand. Some of these works proved to be an incentive for some Croatian historians to focus their research on this field, taking a more specialized approach to the topic of the Eastern Front in 1915. For that reason, a comparative scientific method has been used in this paper in order to emphasize the similarities and differences within certain aspects of the analyses conducted by these authors. By stressing the importance of incorporating these British and Croatian authors’ extensive research into official World War I historical narratives, it is essential to draw the conclusion that a significant contribution to the overall quality of historiography might be achieved by using this particular approach.
