Analysis of the historiography is quite a difficult task because of the different evaluations of the importance of the Battle of Vittorio Veneto.
Some analysts place emphasis on the simultaneous collapse of the Hapsburg Monarchy and describe this battle as an unsurprising victory; moreover, the breakdown of the Balkan front in September-October would have made the Italian contribution to the collapse negligible. In this view the Italian army had simply exploited this unprompted retreat. Most of these evaluations represent only a nationalist point of view. The battle dynamics are indeed much more complex and not given to mono-causal explanations.
Moreover, he believed that the internal struggle of the Austro-Hungarian Empire would not impact the front: although the soldiers were exhausted because of the lack of food supply, the spirits and the reliability of the troops appeared good.
In any case, he could count on ten reserve divisions behind the front line. These troops, in contrast with the soldiers deployed along the front, were troubled by the news coming from the Hinterland.
On 26 October the Italian 4 th Army was not able to move forward and the Austro-Hungarians counterattacked. Therefore, Diaz commanded the start of the offensive on the Piave: the goal of the 12 th , the 8 th and 10 th Armies was to create three bridgeheads on the eastern bank of the river near Valdobbiadene, Sernaglia and Grave di Papadopoli. The turning point of the battle came with the decision taken on the evening of 27 October by Enrico Caviglia to exploit this small bridgehead, displacing two fresh divisions from the 8 th to the 10 th Army so as to cut the communication between the 6 th Austrian army and the Isonzoarmee.
In fact he could relocate only six reserve divisions because most of the Hungarian, Czech, Slovenian and Croatian soldiers of the reserve refused to obey orders. Therefore, after the failure of the counterattack of 28 October, the Austrian defensive situation worsened and other reserve units decided to desert the front.
At last, the Austro-Hungarian high command ordered a general retreat and organized an armistice commission which contacted the Italian army on 29 October. Meanwhile the 8 th Italian army exploited the breakthrough of the 10 th Army and advanced in the direction of Vittorio Veneto, reaching the city on 30 October. At that point, the Austro-Hungarian army was split in two and the Italian high command ordered an attack on the other front zones to exploit the retreat.
On the afternoon of 3 November the Italian troops had reached Trento and Trieste and at p. The Battle of Vittorio Veneto cannot be described as a spontaneous retreat of the Austrian army, at least until 30 October. The Austro-Hungarian troops deployed along the front line had been fighting fiercely, above all at Monte Grappa where the Italians counted 28, casualties in six days.
Moreover, the Italian and Austrian generals were not expecting a rapid breakdown of the Austrian army before the battle.
