ABSTRACT

Cadorna, noting that the Austrians had weakened the Isonzo front for the drive in the Trentino, again attacked the former. In this Sixth Battle of the Isonzo (6-17 August) the Italians took Gorizia but failed to achieve a breakthrough. The 1916 fighting on the Italian Front closed with three more battles along the Isonzo: the Seventh (14-20 September), the Eighth (10-12 October), and the Ninth (1-14 November).52
