Its not irrelevant. Three million soldiers on a whole new front definitely did impact the war albeit lightly considering the fact that the CP were doomed at the onset. By 1916 any sign of CP victory was absent

This is just shouldering the responsibility of victory onto the Italians. Tying up forces on the alps just hastened a CP defeat. It was not instrumental in any way shape or form

These arguments are so disingenuous. Its akin to saying if Hitler never moved against the Soviet Union, he would have won World War Two because he had more men. The truth is, Austri Hungary never had the capacity to win any long term war against the entante because they lacked resources and capable commanders. Their empire was at the breaking point and all of Germany’s economic gains since the Prussian unification in 1871 had been totally lost by 1916. Another front just hastened an inevitable defeat

I didn’t say it did nothing. I said it did very little to change the outcome of the war. Even if the Austrians had the extra men and resources, they lacked proper leadership and overall resources to change the entire course of the war

I don’t think it would have been hard at all to argue for neutrality. Italy joining the entente did little to change the outcome of the war and, unlike Dutch neutrality in the second war, no power had the capacity let alone initiative to invade a country the size and strength of Italy merely to open up a southern front against France.

They also lacked the required Panzer divisions if I’m right since Hitler decided to appease both Gert Avon Runstedt(?) and Rommel’s different demands for the exact location of the tanks

Similar mining towns were established in apartheid South Africa and along the Boer regions as well. A fundamental and racist distinction can be noted in how different ‘white mining towns” were treated when compared to black mining towns. This continues today with a lack of investment in black neighbourhoods across several majorly interracial states

Wasn’t the Nubian region one of the most prosperous regions of all time?

I’m surprised any temple is still being found considering how determined the eastern Roman Empire and later Christians were in razing them to the ground
