The Battles of the Isonzo 1915-17

[Guest Benoit Douville]

I was reading an article about those Battles in Italy and Historians debate as to just how many battles comprised the Isonzo? Undeniably innumerable one battle often appeared to merge into another. The last one I believe was at Caporetto in October 1917. So How many Battles at Isonzo??? 12 Battles seems the more appropriate I think.
