On one hand, maintaining an interest in and a watchful eye on the direction of the German-Russian war, the Australasian Army intensified its assault on Estonia.
The Estonian Military, essentially a puppet government's assemblage, crumbled like loose sand before the well-equipped and powerful Australasian Army, disintegrating at a touch and scattering at a fall.
In less than two and a half weeks, the Australasian Army captured the Estonian capital of Tallinn and occupied important Estonian urban cities such as Rakvere, Narva, Parnu, and Kureseare.
With the exception of Voru, where the German Army was stationed, and nearby Tartu, a significant expanse of Estonian territory had been reclaimed by Australasia.
Estonia's independence had lasted for just 16 years, during which the Estonian King had been forcibly installed and did not boast much prestige at home.
