"Alea iacta est": The Battle of Piave

While there were six great nations who officially squared off against one another during World War One, it's important to remember that it was, in fact, a global conflict, meaning that several other nations, whether willingly or unwillingly, became involved. One such country was Italy, who joined the side of the Triple Entente (Britain, France and Russia). Quick to defend their homeland, they squared off against the Austro-Hungarian Empire in a pivotal battle that's nearly been forgotten outside of Italy. Tune in to this special Memorial Day episode of the 'History Loves Company' podcast as we explore this amazing underdog story.
