Army of the River Piave

The Army of the River Piave was a major Italian military force during World War I, primarily responsible for defending Italy's northeastern front along the Piave River. It was formed in 1918 to counter Austro-Hungarian and German advances during a critical period of the war. The army played a key role in halting enemy advances, leading to the Italian victory in the final stages of the conflict. Its coordinated defense and counterattacks helped protect Italy from invasion and contributed significantly to the success of the Italian front in WWI.
