  • Summary

    The fatal year of 1918 describes the imploding home front, with the beginnings in earnest of ethnic groups bent on destroying the empire in October. Food and fuel shortages and resulting strikes led to further turmoil. The Habsburg Army’s last major offensive launched on June 15, 1918. It was an offensive that should never have occurred and proved disastrous for Austria-Hungary. The Italians launched an offensive to knock Austria-Hungary out of the war. The Austro-Hungarian troops suffered from lack of food, equipment, supplies and modern weaponry. Negotiations for an armistice commence proved disastrous.
