Eric+-+Italy+during+WWI

World War 1 Italy - Battles of Isonzo( many battles took place ) and in this battle they gained little land - Fighting the Austrians was proven costly and both sides were in dire need of reinforcements.... The Australians were able to get reinforcements when Russia pulled out of the war and Germany moved its troops. - The entire front at Isonzo collapsed and the entire second Italian army collapsed when Germany and Austrian lines broke through at Caporetto - Sided with the Allies after signing a secret treaty London. - A commander called Cordona was victorious at Gorzia but failed badly at the offensive of Caporetto and was soon replaced by Armando Diaz. - in 1911 they fought a war with turkey and was successful - Italy's politics were into expansion and imperialism( they fought a war with Ethiopia but failed badly). - Battle at Caporetto was a humiliating defeat for the Italians and the victory's they did have were few and not rewarding. - Treaty of London- in this treaty Britain had offered Italy large sections of territory in the Adriatic Sea region such as Tyrol, Dalmatia, and Istria. - At the end of the war Italy received little from the treaty of versalies which made Italy's humiliation worse. -Hemingway served in war time over in Italy and in Spain - Hemingway still wrote while in war time but - The Mortar shell that injured Hemingway he kept and he kept many other things - He himself thought war was a serious matter and he first hand knew the affects that war put people through. - for his bravery he received the silver medal of valor/ he carried a wounded man safely away while injured himself. - "When you go to war as a boy you have a great illusion of immortality. Other people get killed; not you. . . . Then when you are badly wounded the first time you lose that illusion and you know it can happen to you. After being severely wounded two weeks before my nineteenth birthday I had a bad time until I figured out that nothing could happen to me that had not happened to all men before me. Whatever I had to do men had always done. If they had done it then I could do it too and the best thing was not to worry about it." - Hemingway quote above

picture: Thesis: In A farewell to arms Hemingway switched setting frequently from war to peace. His main setting is based in Italy during World War 1 and Hemingway displays accurately on the thoughts, minds, success, and failures of the nation of Italy in World War 1. Revise: In his novel //A Farewell to Arms//, Ernest Hemingway accurately portrays the attitudes, successes, and failures of Italy during WWI. Is that what you can prove?
