Italy initially had a defensive alliance with the Central Powers, which included Germany and Austria-Hungary, but chose not to join them at the outset of World War I. Instead, Italy entered the war on the side of the Allies in 1915 after being promised territorial gains. This decision was influenced by Italy's desire to expand its territory and assert its national interests.
