The video clip at the bottom of the article is very interesting as well.

A lot of my 3rd Year at uni was spent studying the Italian army during the Great War, they really had the s*** end of it, more so than many will ever realise

There was a lot of pressure from different directions, not only the war which was approaching, also border issues.
