When this map was published:

Published at the time of this map, c.1920:

Italy declared war on Austria, May 23rd 1915, and on Germany, Aug 27th 1916. She had been a member of the Triple Alliance, whose other members were Germany and Austria-Hungary. Austria's failure to acquaint Italy with her plans against Serbia in July, 1914, made a breach between the two nations inevitable, but for nine months following the outbreak of the war Italy remained true to the spirit of the Alliance.Meantime popular sentiment caused Italy to draw away from the Alliance in view of Austria's perfidy, and on May 4th, 1915, she formally denounced it and, as stated, joined the Triple Entente on May 23rd.
