Summary/Abstract: Penetration of the Salonika front politically flew into the final disappearance of traditionalistic great thousand-year-old empires, too weak for long world war at the age of scientific-technological-technical civilization. This was a global tripartite historic phenomenon, made of a set of various, but generally the same, occurrences. Exhaustion of society had led to weakening of the country and precipitation of living conditions, which was followed by citizens’ reaction in the form of protests, strikes, disobedience, disorder, revolutions. The empires declined, new smaller countries were formed at their territories. The Russian Empire began to collapse, though after the decline, Bolshevism managed to gather territories. It ended with the fall of Turkish Empire and the creation of several countries of the Middle East, especially secular Turkish Republic. In the meantime, Habsburg Empire had crashed on which the penetration of the Salonika front had a significant, especially initiative, though not a crucial influence.
