Freepedia is a series of free encyclopaedias. We currently specialize in history but we intend to branch out into other areas. This section is about Gorizia. In
1915 the chief of staff of the Italian Army,
General Luigi Cadorna, had failed to break
through the Austro-Hungarian lines during the Isonzo
Offensive. By the summer of 1916 Cadorna was ready to try again
and launched an attack at Gorizia, 15km inland from the Adriatic coast.
The town was eventually captured in August 1916, giving Cadorna his
only major success of the First World War.
