Italian Forces ●Led by commander Luigi Cadorna ●225,000 troops involved ●Attempted to fight offensively uphill

Austro-Hungarian Forces ●Led by Franz Conrad von Hötzendorf ●Had suggested pre-emptive strikes on Italy ●Decided to stand their ground and settle into their defensive position, fought defensively down hill o barricaded with barbed wire to easily defend Italian assault

Luigi Cadorna Franz Conrad von Hötzendorf
