How did world war 1 affect Italy?

Answer 1

Italy's main contribution was in tying down Austro-Hungarian forces in NE Italy. It was the site of many see-saw battles between the two that never really had much impact on the war as a whole from what I've read.

Answer 2

Italy belonged to the triple-alliance with Germany and Austria-Hungary since 1882 and should have declared war on the triple-entente according to their pact, but used a clause to remain neutral. Instead they made a treaty in London 1915 to get some territories with Italian-speaking population from Austria-Hungary, against whom they declared war 23/5 1915. Thus leaving their alliance to join the side of the entente.

The fighting spirit was weak and war effort not very successful until reinforced in 1918, but at the peace treaty, Italy did receive South Tyrol, Istria, Trentino and Trieste basically as promised.
Italy joined world war one on the side of the allies against there previous allies in order to keep the goodwill of major countries and avoid neighbor conflict saying that the treaty they signed only counted for defense, ( in other words they found a loop-hole). Italy had little choice because of its neighbors locations and bigger standing army, and the fact that they were on a peninsula and could easily be taken by the steel ships of major countries, the Germans were more concentrated on submarines and austria-hungry had no boats, because they had no ports.
