In the [[Battle of Galicia]] at the early stages of the [[First World War]], Lviv was captured by the [[Imperial Russian Army|Russian army]] in September 1914 following the [[Battle of Gnila Lipa]]. The Lemberg Fortress fell on 3 September. The historian [[Pál Kelemen]] provided a first-hand account of the chaotic evacuation of the city by the [[Austro-Hungarian Army]] and civilians alike.<ref>{{cite web |title=03 September 1914 – The Fall Of Lemberg |url=http://ww1blog.osborneink.com/?p=607 |website=The Great War Blog |date=3 September 2014 |access-date=9 July 2016 |archive-date=6 August 2016 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160806184945/http://ww1blog.osborneink.com/?p=607 |url-status=live }}</ref>

The town was retaken by [[Austria-Hungary]] in June of the following year during the [[Gorlice–Tarnów offensive]]. Lviv and its population, therefore, suffered greatly during the First World War as many of the offensives were fought across its local geography causing significant [[collateral damage]] and disruption.<ref name="PB2">{{cite book |last1=Buttar |first1=Prit |title=Germany Ascendant, The Eastern Front 1915 |date=2017 |publisher=Osprey Publishing |location=Oxford |isbn=9781472819376 |pages=260–263}}</ref>
