The Italian campaign refers to a series of battles fought between the armies of Austria-Hungary and Italy, along with their allies, in northern Italy between 1915 and 1918. Italy hoped that by joining the countries of the Triple Entente against the Central Powers she would gain the province of Trento (Trentino) and the port of Trieste, as well as the province of Bolzano-Bozen (Alto Adige/Südtirol), Istria and Dalmatia. Although Italy had hoped to begin the war with a surprise offensive intended to move quickly and capture several Austrian held cities, the war soon bogged down into trench warfare similar to the Western Front.
