What exactly was his endgame?

>>2358251
Retardation

>>2358251
To reenact Cannae and LARP around as. Roman general. He even enacted decimation for like no reason.

>>2358251
he secretly hated italians

>>2358251
if you look at the casualty list the austrians usually lost less men but not so much less than the italians. so at least you can argue that the italians drained the austrians of manpower in an extra front

>>2358371
Typical Italian then

>>2358251
To take the East bank.

An infinite battle of the Isonzo where the whole globe is subsumed into. Allowing him to divide the world into Luigilland and Marioville.

Like i give a shit what this pedophile jew has to say.

>>2358670
This.

>>2358251
To prevent the Austrians from concentrating entirely on the Eastern Front. That he took 50% more casualties than his enemies in those eleven battles didn't really matter. He made the Austro-Hungarians divert troops, and he could afford those losses in a war of attrition.

what else was he supposed to do exactly? I mean he made a lot of errors but you were probably going to see a dozen battles of the Isonzo no matter who was in charge. There was simply no other place to attack. The alternative is doing nothing at all.

The Italian Front was pretty fucking metal. Grinding trench warfare that made the Western Theater look like a war of movement, absurd densities of artillery crammed into the tiniest frontline of the war, the armies trying to flank each other by climbing over mountains, entire units getting lost and freezing to death in the mountains, attempting to storm mountainous forts, entire formations of both armies being erased by avalanches, Arditi and Stormtroopers storming trenches with pistols and trench knives, and tons of other insane shit. All jammed, along with 4.5 MILLION casualties (over a million dead), into an area of land smaller than Belgium.

The sheer scale of the fighting relative to the miniscule area it was fought in is mind-boggling.
Definitely the most underrated theater of the war.

The Austro-Hungarians launched two major offensives: Trentino Offensive and Caporetto Offensive.

In an age that heeds the monumental losses of life and resources as being attributed to one man, it is increasingly difficult to breach the gap for us to comprehend that time's imperative for victory
