    There was another quiet sector on the Western Front, near the French town of Festubert. There was a major battle there in 1915, but anyone stationed there in the following years would have felt as if the war had passed them by. One visitor to this sector described seeing troops polishing brass “like a bunch of housewives.”

    Nitpick on the Alpine Front: not only the Italians attacked first there, it was never abandoned, they were just doing it by blowing up mountains held by the enemy.

    I find the description of the Piave battle a bit misleading and highly semplistic. The Austro-German forces were not halted singlehandedly by the french and british divisions sent on the Piave. They certainly helped but were only a small part of the whole front.

    The Salonica front was the front with the most change. The Serbian army marched +300kms barefoot. Before the armistice the Serbian army reached southern Austria, being pleaded by the British not to sack Vienna.

    Putting the Italian front on here is just absurd and clearly poorly researched. Just like the western front there was daily artillery fire and never ending micro battles. I've been reading the Austro-Hungarian official history of the war and just because you won't find these battles online in any English sources doesn't mean there weren't thousands of casualties daily in actions you've never heard of. The front was certainly industrialized warfare you for some reason claim wasn't.

    The least significant fighting that took place maybe in German New Guinea where there was some shooting between Australians and German Papuan auxiliaries in 1914 but I don't remember where exactly.

      I believe you're talking about the Battle of Bita Paka, which occurred on September 11th 1914 and resulted in elements of an Australian expeditionary force defeating a mixed force of German reservists and local police. The remaining reservists and police retreated to the town of Toma, where they would surrender to the Australians on the 17th of September. I'll leave links to their Wikipedia articles below if you're interested in finding out more.

      The Aussies were the 1st to engage German forces on German turf. The naval guns at Queenscliff, Victoria actually fired on a German freighter that day after war was declared in 1914. It was trying to sneak out of Port Phillip Bay...cheeky kraut.

    Two nitpicks on the Piave: the main responsible for Caporetto was Badoglio, but his connections covered his ass; and the English and French reinforcements arrived when the First Army and remnants of the Second had already stopped the Austro-Hungarian offensive, and would maintain a secondary role compared to the Italians and the largest part of the Czekoslovac Legion.
