Last updated
The Ninth Battle of the Isonzo was an Italian offensive against Austria-Hungary from 1 to 4 November 1916. It formed part of a triumvirate of battles following the Italian capture of Gorizia in August 1916, intended to extend the Italian bridgehead. The attack focused on Vrtojba and the northern and central Karst Plateau. Italian Chief of Staff Luigi Cadorna's attempt to achieve a breakthrough failed, and the war of attrition continued.
