May 29

May 29 is an important date in our nation's history. It was on this day in 1915 that the Republic of Italy entered World War I on the side of the Allied Powers, against the Central Powers of Germany, Austria-Hungary, and the Ottoman Empire.

Italy's decision to join the war was motivated by several factors, including its desire to secure territorial gains in the Balkans and to assert its status as a major European power.

The entry of Italy into the war was a significant development, as it added another powerful ally to the Allied cause and helped tip the balance of power against the Central Powers.

In the end, Italy emerged from the war as one of the "Big Four" Allied powers, and played a key role in shaping the post-war world.

May 29 is also a day of remembrance for those who served and died during World War I. We owe a great debt to these brave men and women, and we must never forget their sacrifice.

Lest we forget.
