They were meant to be joined by a expedition from the Berlin Observatory led by Freundlich, however due to the outbreak of war, the German party were arrested. Unfortunately, (for all eclipse parties in the Russian Empire), their views were again obscured by cloud. The Argentine party would later plan to perform the experiment in 1919, but the National Government refused to authorise the mission, so it didn't go ahead. <p><a href="https://eclipse-history.wp.st-andrews.ac.uk/how-the-start-of-world-war-1-disrupted-the-1914-total-solar-eclipse-expeditions/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Read article</a>.</p> 21/08/1914 am619@st-andrews.ac.uk Site 7 current,45.03367,35.37536; Theodosia true Russian Empire TEXT
