My girlfriend's great-grandfather lived in Udine, fought in the Alps, had a milk/dairy factory, was so upset by the war that he fled Italy and came to Brazil, never spoke about the war, was psychologically shaken his entire life and died young. I wish I had the opportunity to talk to him in the past, at least to give him a hug. His last name was Coppeti

[@USDep.OfTimelinePreservation]

I am Slovenian and here you can see the trenches and the blown up mountains to this day. It's astonishing to know that a mountain was lowered by 20 meters due to explosions. Finding unexploded grenades is also still very common and barbed wire is still in place where it was put up by soldiers more than 100 years ago. Great video

[@fullworldmap]

Just doing research on Google Earth I was surprised finding trenches all over the former front which looked like they could have been dug ten years ago. It’s crazy how well preserved things are on that front. I visited a trench in Belgium years ago and it was barely still there

[@USDep.OfTimelinePreservation]

@@fullworldmap yep, that high up there's not enough dirt for any kind of erosion to occur, so everything is preserved. I remember when I went to the museum in Kobarid, they showed us still intact artillery positions dug into the cliffsides. It's terrifying to think that the italians got the most of our fire in those valleys while their own gas was turning on them due to how the wind blows there.

This was an amazing video to watch. The visuals continue to get better, and I love how you've now included the individual positions that each army had. So far, the quality of the map animation, narration, and historical events have been unbelievably top-notch and way ahead of any other mapping channel I've seen. Congratulations to all of those who worked on this video, it came out even better than I expected! On a personal note, I also am astonished by the pure brutality of this part of the war. I was pretty unaware of how severe the weather conditions were, how inhumane many of the strategies the Austrians and Italians employed as a result of it. Of course, the quality of the video illustrated the situation far better than any of my history textbooks from school could have.

[@Cervus-zz1ox]

Great! Im italian and i love this! The italian front is very underrated, many people made fun of Italiy for making very small advances, and many battles on the Isonzo. You should consider that they were fighting on the highest Mountains of Europe, and during the Great War, advancing there was almost impossible. And don't forget that many italians and Austrians died. The italians during ww1, did very good. They took Gorizia, and they almost took Trieste, and the Austrian army almost collapsed, so they called the germans, and they pushed the italians to the Piave River, and they almost took Venice. The italians fought very hard, on the Piave river, and at Monte Grappa,untip the end, and they managed to completely destroy the austrian army At Vittorio Veneto. All of this sacrifices, only to get only a small part of territories promised( they promised Dalmazia and Albania) AVANTI SAVOIA, VIVA IL RE, VIVA L'ITALIA!

Your point still stands but by the way, casualties aren't the same as killed. It's just killed and wounded and can be counted multiple times for the same person eg if someone is wounded, recovers and returns to the fight then is wounded again that counts as 2 casualties

[@Maperator]

​@redmonkey_1756 casualties also includes POWs and sick leaves.

[@redmonkey_1756]

@@Maperator yes true

[@avoig_3219]

The italian killed and wounded in the battle of Caporetto were around 40k (that was a common number in the battle on the Isonzo river) Germany and Austria lose 50k between wounded and killed, but there were 265k prisoners and more than 300k soldier start returning to their home thinking the war was over. After that italian chief of the army Luigi Cadorna accused italian soldier to give up without fighting. The truth is that italian generals know exactly what was arriving but didn’t organize the army well enough to defend themself from the germans.

@fullworldmap The thing about Caporetto and the Piave that many in the Entente didn't understand was this: 1) EVERYBODY knew it was coming, even the journalists, but Cadorna brushed it off as "socialist propaganda". 2) From the Piave onwards, what started as a war to gain the last few Italian cities to the Madrepatria changed into a full-blown fight for its survival. Despite the differences, despite the contradictions, ALL of Italy pulled its weight into what became effectively a "4th War of Independence". It was do or die. And we did.

[@TheAustrianAnimations87]

The map and animation looks fantastic! The Alpine Front was certainly a nightmare to fight for both Austro-Hungarian and Italian troops. But may I ask, how did Austria-Hungary have such a massive population drop? Sure, the Austro-Hungarian army suffered high casualties while fighting on three fronts (unlike Italy) at once, plus civilians had to suffer from starvation, but I didn't expect the population decline to be that high. But other than that, rest in peace to all the fallen soldiers. 🇦🇹🇭🇺🇮🇹

Just one thing, the population of Austria-Hungary seems to be wrong. I found no sources that put it at 59 million in 1915, and it also didn't lose 15 million people throughout the war. This would be 25% of its population!

[@fullworldmap]

You are right, my original calculations were messed up. Revised figures are in the video description. The new numbers are: • 1914 - 52629456 • 1915 - 52539986 • 1916 - 52219492 • 1917 - 51759960 • 1918 - 51128489 • 1919 - 51031345 The figures are estimates extrapolated from the 1910 census since to my knowledge that was the last point of data for total population before the empire collapsed.

[@mommi1979]

Where did you take the information that Italy joned on the basis of an easy and quick victory form? The rest of Europe was fignting since one year already, and the swift attacks had already been replaced by trenches. No one would have believed by then that there was the slightest possibility of a quick and easy land grabbing. The truth is, "irredentismo" was a strong thing among the italian intelligentia: there were perceived italian homelands still unclaimed, since the past 3 wars of independece fought against Austria, less than 60 years before. The truth is, no matter the cost, sooner or later the unified Italian people would have fought again for those lands against the Austrians. WWI was seen infact by many as the fourth war of independence. The Triple Alliance was a defensive pact, held in place in the fear of French and British imperialism in the late 1800's. Now, with all of Europe set on fire, it was just the moment the nation was waiting for since more than half a century to finish the job. And it was no easy job to drag the country into war. The nation was politically thorn apart among those standing for the fight and those standing for neutrality. The possibility of the country entering the war was in reality lower than that of the staying in the status quo until the very last moments prior to the declaration. It was not a decision taken that easily. The lack of equipment was evident, ther are plenty of reports which say many generals discouraged the attack, after all the country was just in its early stage of industrialization, no heavy war industries were available. But such an "opportunity" could not present itself for another 50 years. And mind you, it was set to be mostly an uttack uphill, climbing steep mountains under heavy fire. And everybody knew that. The Alpini corp was a thing for mountain warfare. But it didn't matter, and that's the reason behind the stubborness which lead those foolish italian generals to launch attack after attack hoping that by the power of mere numbers, finally the poor italian soldiers would break through the entrenched Austrians on the high ground. That shows you what the willingness of the italian people to fight can bring, in contrast to WWII where no one felt any rightful reason to fight for the fascist regime. And it showed.

@@mommi1979 In retrospect it seems clear that the war would drag on for years, but both sides thought it would end soon every year. And unlike France, or Russia or even Britain, Italy got to choose the moment of it’s entry. I think it simply made a miscalculation, like Romania. Even in the scenario that Italy expected the wider war to continue, the declaration of war solely against Austria was done to leave the option open for a separate peace, which would have been ideal for Italy geopolitically
