Italian prisoners of World War I

Abstract

Italian prisoners in the First World War suffered inhumane conditions. The Italian Government refused to allow them the assistance to which they were entitled under international agreements, arguing that Caporetto revealed them as traitors, when in reality the responsibility for the defeat rested mainly on the military command. The prisoners returned to Italy full of reproach for the ruling classes that had sent the nation to war without due preparation, and reproach too for the socialism that had abandoned them to their fate. This mentality was subversive, and it played its part in the advent of Fascism.
