halting attempts?

[edit]

It had to be easy to stop the "numerous Italian attempts to breakthrough into Austria-Hungary" from Trentino, since the Italians were not triyng to do it.
In the Alps, until the Battle of Asiago, the Italians were only trying to shorten the frontline and to save troops for the Isonzo Battles. Since they managed to shorten it from the original 380 km to about 213 km without retreating from their positions, but conquering the Austrian ones (unless thoose were generally posed in dominant places and held by the oh so "superior leadership and experience" of the Austrians) one could say that they succeed.

Under Luigi Cadorna, the Italians tried numerous advances on the Alpine front early in the war. In the four battles of Isonzo, they were checked by the Austro-Hungarians. The Austro-Hungarian withdrawls in some sectors were strategic and voluntary.--64.132.59.99 21:34, 10 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
