	First World War.com - Battles - The Battles of the Isonzo, 1915-17
		The battles of the Isonzo were so-named because they were fought along the Isonzo River on the eastern sector of the Italian Front between June 1915 and November 1917.
		The only practical area for Italian military operations during the war (the rest of the mountainous 400-mile length of the Front being almost everywhere dominated by Austro-Hungarian forces), the Austrians had taken due care to fortify the mountains ahead of the Italians' long-expected entry into the war on 23 May 1915.
		Despite the huge effort and resources poured into the continuing Isonzo struggle the results were invariably disappointing and without real tactical merit, particularly given the geographic difficulties that were inherent in the campaign.

		On the Isonzo, all of this meant that in 1916 Italy needed to continue attacking and Austria-Hungary needed to continue defending.

		We must remember the Slovenian poets and writers rethinking their feelings of Isonzo, the charm of its cliffs, the mysterious color of its water carried in the soul of its people and history.
		In the narrow region of the Isonzo, an opalescent green, the nude fields lay under the sunset, luxuriant and inviolate, in a network of strong golden rays; the beauty of our land hurt more than the blows of Italian grenades".
