Battle of Monte Grappa

1916 1917 1918 White War (1915–1918) The Battles of Monte Grappa were a series of three battles which were fought during World War I between the armies of the Austro-Hungarian Empire and the Kingdom of Italy for control of the Monte Grappa massif, as it covered the left flank of the Italian Piave front.

When the Austro-Hungarian autumn offensive of 1917 routed the Italians, the Austrians, with help from the German Army's Alpenkorps failed to take the mountain's summit during the first battle of Monte Grappa from 11 November 1917 to 23 December 1917.

But the worn down Austrian Army began a general retreat on 28 October, when Czechoslovakia declared independence from Austria-Hungary.

Monte Grappa appears in Electronic Arts' 2016 first-person shooter video game Battlefield 1 as a multiplayer map.

The map is set during the final Italian offensive in the Third Battle of Monte Grappa pitting Austro-Hungarian forces against the Kingdom of Italy.
