Andrea's WW1 Blog: / grandeguerra100
Luigi Cadorna was the Italian Chief of Staff when World War 1 broke out and when Italy joined the conflict a year later. He was a man of tradition and believed that most important factor of military success was the will and determination of his soldiers. During the numerous Battles of the Isonzo River, this doctrine proofed disastrous for his troops.

Generalissimo Cadorna, what is the attack plan for today? Cadorna: The same thing we do every day Pinkey: a frontal attack on the Isonzo river, up a mountain, directly towards Austrian machine-gun positions, at the same time as yesterday and with no artillery support. I gave a good speech to the men last night and their morale is high, so it should be a success!

Cadorna's reputation is indeed so bad that those italians who emmigrated to Argentina during, or shortly after, WWI started using his name as a way of saying that something was useless. Whenever someone complained too much about anything they couldn't really do anything about, they would reply "go complain to Cadorna". The expresion became so popular that, to this day it is still used, now as a simple noun devoid of the personal reference, to refer to low quality things. "Ésto es una cadorna!" (literally "this is a cadorna") is a fairly common expression amongst argentinians of any origin, which denotes low quality and/or uslessness.

I'm reading ancient roman history and most of the "talented" consuls/military tribunes/dictators were really just very rigorous, strict and charismatic leaders who could inspire religious zeal and fighting spirit in their troops. The fact that Cadorna is very much about troop morale more than anything else combined with the fact that he was very religious makes him more Ancient Roman than Italian.

@podemosurss8316
@podemosurss8316 7 лет назад
I have one interesting fact about Cadorna: he gave origin to a word used in Argentinian Spanish, "cadorna", which means "low quality", since Italian immigrants in Argentina during the 1920s went saying that he was mad and really low quality. It's still used today. Also, he's probably the only general whose soldiers composed a song dedicated to him saying that he was mad. My beloved "General Cadorna" song (here an English translation): General Cadorna wrote to the Queen: "If you want to see Trieste send you a Postcard!" General Cadorna eats up the Bistec and to the poor soldiers gives us dry chestnuts General Cadorna has become mad, he calls 999 to say he's still a boy General Cadorna has lost his head, he calls 999 to say he pisses on his bed. General Cadorna wrote this sentence: "Get me Gorizia and I'll get you a license!" General Cadorna he eats, he drinks, he sleeps. And the poor soldier goes to war and doesn't come back.

I know it's just a joke, but his son Raffaele Cadorna was a much better man than him. He joined the military like his father, but despite the rise of Fascism in Italy he always remained anti-Fascist and was one of the few people that strongly criticized the war with Ethiopia in 1935-36. Then when the Germans invaded Italy in 1943 his Armored Division managed to stop the enemies from advancing on Rome, and the Germans decided to outflank them rather than suffer further casualties since the rest of the front was scarcely defended. After that he joined the Italian resistance movement and became Supreme Commander of the partisans forces and coordinated the operations that led to the insurgence and liberation of the North Italian cities in 1945 and the capture of hundreds of German and Fascist troops. So as you can see he did pretty good, too bad that his father wasn't like him.

And besides, wouldnt it be awesome to take a class about WWI with Indy as the teacher? lol

A violent melee battle to death takes place, where only unarmed combat between two men is allowed in a boxing ring. One one corner, we have Cadorna and in the other, von Hotzendorf! Battle starts! Cadorna charges, but trips over his own ears! Von Hotzendorf sees the opportunity and moves in, but gets stuck in the border ropes! Cadorna gets up, sees his opponent undefended and only one punch would be needed to knock him out, so Cadorna backs in the corner and goes into defense! Von Hotzendorf gets up, and declares he made a great defensive victory! Cadorna blames his trainer for giving him wrong shoes! Von Hotzendorf is making plans to move into another ring to fight Cadorna there! The battle continues...

@Peter S The same could be said for Austrians. The only real success they had against Italy was in Caporetto (and in that offensive most important successes were made by germans). In mountain warfare was truly hard to break enemy lines with old tactics, this is why in italian front was so difficult to reach territorial gains for both counterparts.

He's 100% right that morale is the most important thing. The worst equipped wins if the best equipped doesn't want to fight. But you need logistics, materiel, and strategy TO HAVE MORALE. For someone who recognized morale as important, he sure did a lot to destroy it.

Except for the fact Indy, that the Roman's accepted their losses realistically and knew the value of their weapons and armor and especially their engineering. Glorious Caesar, when he was defeated in Gaul before he conquered it, stated that it was his fault and until his men no longer suffered, he would suffer with them. Doing so he stopped shaving and properly grooming. He was known to be something of a dandy. Consider this. However, he used engineering to crush the Guals in their final stand, forcing a besieged force against his walls, and breaking a relief force on said walls as well, At the same damn time!

I have considered the comments made in response to my earlier comment. I specifically said that the troops commanded by A. Diaz in 1917-1918 accomplished much. Diaz waited until he was certain of victory in the battle of V.V., but can a WW1 General be criticized for this? While the condition of the Astro-Hungarian army in 11-18 was bad, this was not the case in 6-18. The 2nd battle of the Piave river was fought during June, and was viewed as an attempt to drive Italy from the war. The Italian troops held despite the fact that part of the Astro-Hungarian army was commanded by S. Boroevic-The Lion of The Isonzo. While Diaz might be denied credit for the victory at V.V. by some, who site the condition of the Astro-Hungarian army, he cannot be denied credit for the victory at the Piave river.

Luke Stoerger My conclusion: He is inadequate to be a general and shouldn't be assigned when he has no beforehand experience in actual tactics and warfare.

Idk about you, but he sure is terrible, but sure is great for memes in the comment section! :)

@danielemilazzo84
@danielemilazzo84 7 лет назад
Two things would have happened: an italo-french front in which Cadorna and von Hotzendorf would have fought together - and a drastic shortage of supplies that would have run Italy off the war in 7-8 months of war or so, as all the coal, food, and loaned money come from France, UK and US.

If I could add something, one of the most inhumane acts made by Luigi Cadorna was the "decimazione" that consisted in choosing randomly one soldier every ten and executing him in front of the other soldiers to promote discipline in the army. Something that was only used in ancient Rome and hadn't been used for thousands of years. Disgraceful.

Very often no honor nor historical justice has been given to the men shot by his firing squads with genuine injustice, and still today the old lies are very strong...many movies have been censored in Italy (and are still censored today), because telling some uncomfortable truths about Cadorna and the regio esercito...so again thank You Indy&team! By the way: Cadorna was a nigthmare, but his protégé Andrea Graziani was said to be even far more worse...both by the italian soldiers and by the writers John Dos Passos and Ernest Hemingway, who were there...

You often say, "so-and-so wrote such-and-such to 'x' family member," and I wonder how such a personal note got in the hands of historians. Do members of the writer's family donate the letters? Maybe the various powers have protocols for recording all messages sent by their armies? Thanks, and keep up the great production. I really like the high-quality animated maps that have been showing up lately.
