This video was made possible thanks to everyone on the Simple History Patreon: / simplehistory
The First World War is renowned for its massive Battles fought on an industrial scale, particularly the grinding stalemate that was the Western front. Places like Verdun, the Somme, and Passendale, have become legendary for their brutality and the fierce fighting which occurred there.
However, one forgotten front of the war occurred much further south, and while it is often overshadowed by the other actions, there were still acts of heroism that should be given some recognition.

Not to downplay Italian soldiers, but the main reason was probably that their primary opponent, Austria-Hungary, was busy fighting Russia for most of the war. After the Russians were neutralized in 1917, the 12th battle of the Isonzo, which was the Austrian’s only major offensive on the Isonzo front, was one of the most successful breakthroughs of the war.

The Asiago War Memorial is a World War I memorial located in the town of Asiago in the Province of Vicenza in the Veneto region of northeast Italy. Surrounded by mountains that were the site of several World War I battles, the monument houses the remains of over 50,000 Italian and Austro-Hungarian soldiers and is a popular destination for travelers to the region. In Italian the memorial is typically called Sacrario Militare di Asiago or Sacrario Militare del Leiten. Leiten is the name of the hill on which the memorial sits.

@@lespaulguitarist921. Italians in WWI did great. Foghting alone an Empire, the A/H one. Only when Germany assisted the A/H Empire with reinforcements, the Italians lose some battles (but fighting 1 vs 2 nations). And no, until the last phases of WWI there was no help of French or English, that was having their issue in the western front at Verdun and Somme. 2. WWII. Italy was dragged in that war without any economy or bellic industry, coming from WWI efforts and immediately after the Spanish Franco's war (where Italy was foughting and spending the few resources they had to stand at Franco's army side). Still with no resources and with an outdated equipment the Italians was standing for years vs the whole world. And go to read the histories of Teseo Tesei or Rosario Randazzo. Or what the Italians did at the Izbushenski Battle. Then come again here to write your chit chat. 3. Italy betrayed no one, nor in WWI and neither in WWII.

The Battle of Asiago or the Südtirol Offensive, nicknamed Strafexpedition by the Austro-Hungarian forces, was a major counteroffensive launched by the Austro-Hungarians on the territory of Vicentine Alps in the Italian Front on 15 May 1916, during World War I. It was an "unexpected" attack that took place near Asiago in the province of Vicenza after the Fifth Battle of the Isonzo. Commemorating this battle and the soldiers killed in World War I is the Asiago War Memorial.

Monte Cengio is a mountain in the Asiago plateau, within the Vicentine Alps, in Veneto, northeastern Italy. It has an elevation of 1,354 metres and is located on the southwestern edge of the plateau, in the territory of Cogollo del Cengio. The mountain was heavily contested during the Battle of Asiago in the First World War; the Grenadiers of Sardinia distinguished themselves in the fighting, suffering heavy losses. Over 10,000 soldiers were killed, wounded or missing on Monte Cengio between May and June 1916. A rocky spur overlooking a ravine, near the top of the mountain, became known as salto del granatiere after some grenadiers, who had been surrounded there and had run out of ammunition, grabbed some of the Austro-Hungarian attackers and jumped off the cliff along with them. In 1967 Monte Cengio was declared "sacred to the Fatherland" and proclaimed a monumental area. Wartime galleries and roads are part of the monumental area and are visited by hikers.

Begging you to do a video giving the Austro-Hungarians justice

Can you make a video about the chaos that followed the end of the first world war in Hungary? I think it is interesting, and not much people know about it. 🇭🇺🇭🇺🇭🇺

Can I afford to make a correction? the strafexpedition (or battle of the plateaus, in Italy) had nothing to do with the Caporetto offensive. the Battle of Caporetto was proposed by the Austrian high command only after the 11th Battle of the Isonzo given that the Italians had almost managed to break down the lines in that battle

Crazy how Italy managed to actually put up a decent performance in WW1 for years and totally flopped as soon as it entered WW2.

Great video but it's Cadorna not Cardona (I'm Italian btw) my great great grandfather fought against austrians, he was in a cavarly division. Can you make a video about ww1 cavarly? (Dont forget the Italians!)

Fun fact: Italy never betrayed the triple alliance. Actually was the AustroHungarians violating the Article 7 to have done it.

@BesoffenerIslamist 7 ай бұрын

I guess that's the reason they planned their betrayal long before ww1 together with the Brits (London treaty)

the alliance was supposed to be only between Germany and Italy only

@solinvictus1234 7 ай бұрын

@@FlagAnthem it wasn't an alliance, was a three way defensive pact (a lot different than an alliance). That pact stated on Article 7 that no membera of the defensive pact should have becomed an aggressor, otherwise the pact would have been immediately considered null and the member natuons returni g automatically to a Neutral status. Rome warned many times Vienna to diplomatically resolve the issue of the Prince assassination in Serbia, citing the Article 7, but Vienna refused to listen Rome and declared war on Serbia. So AH becomed aggressors, the pact was nullified and Italy and Germany becomed Neutral. Lather Germany, for their own interests choose to sign an alliance with AH and Italy for his own interests decided as neutral, to enter in war vs AH. So at the end of the day, everyone did what was best for their nations, but the one that betrayed the defensive pact was the AH.

I appreciate the uncommon dedication for a piece of history that usually is not considere as "importanto history" by the point of view of the normal anglosaxon culture, but there some mistakes, and I sense the usual prospective of real strong anglosaxons winner of all the wars, speking of "mediterraneans " with non so hidden "compassion" instead of an "real historical analysis". "punish expedition" was a name given to the Austrian-ungarina plan only by our ( italian) propaganda ( it works perfectly still). Italian trups were not imprepared, but they were under numbered, and the attak was massive; no italian regiment fled, they fought every austrian advance, manteining and standing in one of the last position. After mount Cengio there waere other defensible places but not good as the Cengio, but, Monte Cengio is not at the begining of the "venetian plane" in ti son "Astico valley" wich was reinforced. You confused the uniforms of "granatieri" ( grenadieres) with "alpini", ( alps mountain soliers). Only aplpini have the black eagle quill on the hat. Tey were the counter part of the austrian "alpen jeger", and as allied commanders ( in both wars) admitted, the alpini were the best montain troops of the wars.
