Late 1917 was not a good time for the Italians. A Central Powers offensive routed them along the Isonzo River, capturing tens of thousands of Italian soldiers and driving the rest back tot he Piave River. There the Italians made a Thermopylae-like last stand that unlike that namesake battle, actually succeeded.
