After WW1, why was Italy given so little land, considering how many battles of the Isonzo they fought?

After WW1, why was Italy given so little land, considering how many battles of the Isonzo they fought?
Surely they wanted more, had asked for more, expected more, and eventually tried to get more. This should've been obvious.
The central powers were gutted so hard in all other ways, but were spared where Italian ambitions were concerned.

wh*Te subhumans betrated Italy

I was always under the impression they were seen as somewhat of a front runner and never fully invested until they saw a winning side emerging.

I think they were also previously aligned with AH and Germany prior to the breakout of war.

They were basically the guy on the side who yells world star while two other guys fight - that doesn't net you much cache at the bargaining table.

Italy had an alliance with AH & Germany but claimed they didn't have to honour the alliance because AH declared war on Serbia first

At the bargaining table after the war, Italy's represrntative, Orlando, embarrassed the nation but whining like a cry baby at how she deserved more for her minor efforts in WWI than what she got. Lloyd George even said something to the effect that if his children had acted how Orlando did, they would have been spanked.

Also want to mention that Italy started the war being a part of the Triple Alliance and didn't have the same industrial capacities as France, Germany or the UK so wasn't considered a major player.

Because they were shit and all the land they wanted was also wanted by Serbia to form their pan-slavic meme country

wtf

Didn't the British and French garuntee Italy Dalmatia and some other territory they wanted if they joined the war in their side

They were promised quite a bit including South Tyrol (which they did get), Croatia, Albanian protectorate (I think they got that), one of Germany's former African colonies, A middle eastern colony. Italy was kinda betrayed by its greedier allies despite being apart of the big 5 powers and contributing quite a bit.

One of Wilson's preconditions at Versailles was that nations should be created and redrawn along ethnic lines, like Yugoslavia a (theoretically) pan-Slavic state. A pan-Slavic state taking up the same land that Italy wanted. France and Britain cared more about the United States' demands than Italy's and events proceeded as such. If Wilson hadn't insisted on it, then who knows?

Yeah they did guarantee Dalmatia but the Italians didn't get it. The Entente powers used it as a bargaining chip to get Italy to join their side. The Italians got two shit port cities on the eastern side of the Adriatic Sea instead.

>shit port cities
I object to this description
t. Triestini

I believe the middle east colony was part of the whole Turkish War Of Independence shitfight where everyone lost

No, that's the Americans
Italy entered the war not even a year after the start of it

Ok, maybe it was a little harsh. The ports did allow Italy to make some pretty cool battleships in WWII.

That's probably true as Italy did take a decent chunk of Anatolia and then got kicked out

Italy never was gonna fight for central powers because austrians werent willing to negotiate nor were italian elite ever gonna give up italian speaking lands inder austrian rule

T-thank you

Half a million italians died. This number is comparable to the British casualties.

>mfw Japan got more out of ww1 then Italy

>MFW Japan conquered more territory in ww1 than italy

Luigi being autistic != actual contributions to the war

Japan didn't have superpowers all around them

>reducing the number of the battle of isonzo
For what purpose?
Also Italy was important since it provided one of the quickest access route to the reich itself
A large factor of Germany surrendering as it is in 1918 is because Austro Hungary has collapsed and a strike to Berlin was imminent,all the mutinies could be swept and the army still could fight but they couldnt turn a blind eye on the mediterranean warrior

Vaffanculo tu croato sporco!

werent the allies in germany already when the war ended?

No, they were still fighting in France/Belgium. They certainly could have gone on into Germany by 1919, the Heer was utterly defeated.

so, then.... germany feared the spaghetti warrior?

>mfw sloveniana and starting provocations
>mfw crofags get blamed

Yeah,they could slog down the last few vestiges of men plus the 17 year old who will come of age at 1919 and spend the last grain supply but the thoughts of it*lians at the doorsteps triggers their teutonic,swebozian,ostro/visigothic instinct

No one feared the spaghetti warrior. Starvation did in Germany

I just got played

The army couldve rolled on its own disregarding public opinion

The army was falling apart and disintegrating by the day, they couldn't have rolled much further than a graveyard

that didn't stop them in WW2

A few million of the kaisers me would still be willing to die for the reich,italians on the doorsteps means that their sacrifice would become meaningless

If that were true, the stabbed in the back theory wouldn't have fired up the autistic german nazi regime and we could've been spared WW2.

The whole point of "the jews betrayed us, we were winning!!" is that the army was still holding in occupied territory, and the communist coup back at home forced the surrender (in reality it was starvation).

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Schweinemord
Oy vey, remember the Schweinemord!

the monsters they spawned had grown up by WW2

It was because of Wilson forcing the self determination meme. Otherwise I don't think the Entente would have objected to Italy having Dalmatia.

Yea! How dare Wilson want people to rule themselves instead of letting some distant foreign ruler exploit them for resources! Those ungrateful Croatians should have been lining up to have their wealth stolen to enrich the Italians!

>what are colonial powers in Africa and Asia, especially since Germany lost to France and UK all their colonies

Because of Wilson self determination they couldn't get part of newly formed Kingdom of Serbia, Croatia and Slovenia and because of that Orlando left the table and lost any claim on African and Asian colonies.


At the end the would greed of France and Uk, as well as don't giving Italy their demands would eventually result in the rise of fascism in italy and the whole economic crisis in Germany, which will lead to the formation and election of the nazi. So if you want to see the moment when europe fucked themselves over, look no further than Paris conference

>distant

Ovo.

>distant
They're less than an hour away, fuck off dude, it's not like yugoslavia was any better for croatian independence.
