Italy mobilized nearly 6.5 million men since the war began and paid a heavy price with about 1.5 million losses. The nation supplied huge manpower, industry, and finance, including extensive alpine rail and teleferic networks. Despite labor strains and lack of colonial troops, Italy sustained major combat on the Isonzo Piave fronts and contributed to Allied victory.
