2. VI. Isonzo battle
6 August 1916 - 16 August 1916
Another Isonzo battle took place in the middle of the summer, because the Italian troops opposed a massive Austrian offensive in South Tyrol. One the one hand the battle brought Italians a distinct success, but on the other hand It were only territorial gains that didn´t mean a stronger advance on the entire Front. However the VI. Italian Corps pushed the 5th Army out of positions. Thus Cadorna gained Podgora fortified zone, Monte San Michele and Gorica.
