ATS Great War 6

Welcome to ATS Great War 6: Blood on the IsonzoTM. This sixth Great War module for CH’s ATS System takes the action to modern day Slovenia, on the border between Austria-Hungary and Italy during World War I.

To the east of Italy, at the head of the Adriatic, lay the Isonzo River section of Austria. It was there that Italy had been focusing its main effort. When Italy entered the war the Austrians had stood between the Julian Alps and the sea on a front of a little less than forty miles, with the Isonzo River as a “deep and almost impassable moat” from Tolmino straight down almost to Gorizia, where their lines crossed the river and held the heights of Podgora covering the town.
During the course of the Great War the world would become familiar with the Isonzo front as with the various battlefields, names that would ring out in the history of warfare between German, French and British protaganists. No less than a dozen battles would take place in what is modern day Slovenia, and along the Isonzo River, from June 1915 to November 1917.

The great prize, in fact, was territory inhabited by ethnic Slovenes, residing in 1915 in the empire of Austria-Hungary. The London Pact of April 1915 sought, successfully, to bring Italy into the war on the side of the Entente. The main inducements were territory, and the treaty was kept secret from the world (until it was made public by the Bolsheviks following their 1917 revolution that eliminated one nation of the Triple Entente from the war).
