Ottomans couldn't even beat Shitaly

Now you also realize that 80% of it is fucking desert. Basically after 20 or so miles from the coast you need tribal guides or you're done, no wonder it took both the ottomans and the italians fucking decades to tame the desert niggers. Not to mention they just started shitting up the place again as soon as Italy left, nowadays they're half the reason for the country's instability, Afghanistan style.

just as said, Italy's military was pretty up to snuff at the time and through the interwar period, good enough to defeat the Austrians and later the Germans in the Alpine front of WWI.

What doomed them in World War II was Italy being completely resource deprived, never having enough natural oil, steel, or rubber to make anything better than an average interwar period army. The Italian Navy ran out of fuel for their ships as early as September 1942, forcing most ships to be stranded at port for the rest of the war.

>1911 Ottoman Empire

old man

That war was pretty much a Zerg Rush

>nah man they shit xdddd
Americancers.

>Italy had to invade Rhodos to make Turkey give up Libya

>good enough to defeat the Austrians and later the Germans in the Alpine front of WWI.
What?

A combined force of Britcucks, Frogs, and Amerifats saved italy in WWI.

Italy spent much of WWI launching useless offensives against Austro-Hungarian Armies, and when Germans bunked in with Hapsburg Armies, they pushed Italians the fuck off the fronts theyve been fighting for 4 years, with a clear shot at Venice.

>265,captured Italians

>265,000*

Lol this cunt clearly has no idea, even after caporetto the battles at the piave and monte grappa held the Austro-Germans back
The battle of the piave in 1918 was almost wholly Italian, as was Vittorio Veneto where from memory the USA had one regiment and the French and Brits about a corps in total

>400.000 deployed
>256.000 captured + 350.000 missing
Italian must have bred like rabbits in those 20 days
But seriously, It was all Cadorna's fault that drained the soldier's morale
>During the course of the war Cadorna dismissed 217 officers, and during the Battle of Caporetto, he ordered the summary execution of officers whose units retreated.[11]
>Six percent of Italian soldiers under his leadership faced a disciplinary charge during the war and 61 percent of them were found guilty. About 750 were executed, the highest number in any army in World War I.[12]
>Claims have been made that he also reintroduced the ancient Roman practice of decimation—the killing of every tenth man—for units which failed to perform in battle.
>Cadorna was known to have maintained poor relations with the other generals on his staff and by the start of the battle, had sacked 217 generals, 255 colonels and 355 battalion commanders.[20][21] In addition, he was detested by his troops
>Cadorna had been directing the battle 20 miles (32 km) behind the front and retreated another 100 mi (160 km) to Padua
Also, the Austrohungarians used chemical weapons for the first time in that battle on the Italians, who were imprepared against such weapons and lacked equipment such as gas masks to counter it

>A combined force of Britcucks, Frogs, and Amerifats saved italy in WWI
The Piave battle saw no partecipation of foreign troops, and the battle at Vittorio Veneto the allied contribution was minimal en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_Vittorio_Veneto#Order_of_Battle

I have a detailed book, albeit very anti-cadorna biased, with accounts of the "discipline" cadorna enforced upon the army. It almost borders lunacy. That guy lost us the first half of WWI single-handedly.

1911 lol

the ottomans fucked up the italian states up hardcore, they were literally so easy to raid, some ottoman commander on a casual day decided to just simply annex all of italy literally because how easy it was...

what saved italy was the franco ottoman alliance, the french king told the sultan to chill the fuck out and the ottomans did not do it

>duurrrrrr
>hurrrrrrrr

Shoo shoo!

Do you have any sauce for that that doesn't leak out of your own ass? Because it looks like you took that from there.
