The Fourth Battle of the Isonzo was fought between Italians and Austro-Hungarians on the Italian Front in World War I , between November 10 and December 2 , 1915 . OVERVIEW Differently from the other Battles Of The Isonzo , this offensive lasted little time, and is sometimes considered a continuation of the Previous One . Most of the clash concentrated in the direction of Gorizia and on the Kras Plateau , though the push was distributed on the whole front. The 2nd Italian Army, aiming to Gorizia, was able to capture Oslavje (Italian: ''Oslavia''), while the Third Army, covering the rest of the front up to the sea, launched a series of large and bloody attack which brought no significative gain. Mount Sei Busi was attacked five times by the Italian forces, always in vain. The intensity of the fightings increased until the end of November, when the bridgehead of Tolmin (Italian: ''Tolmino'') was heavily bombed by both the parts and the casulaty ratio reached its apex. In the first fifteen days of December, however, they reduced to small scale skirmishes. An unsigned truce arrived together with the first great cold in the mountains of the Kras, and operations were arrested due to lack of supplying. The Austro-Hungarian High Command, worried by the huge losses, for the first time requested troops to the German Empire , which was not formally in war against Italy at this point. Anyway the Germans intervened in the Italian front only starting from the Eleventh Battle Of The Isonzo . SEE ALSO |
