Germany and France offer territory to Italian King Victor Emmanuel III to lure him and his country into the war. Germany offered Trentino, territory of its ally Austria-Hungary. France offered the same, a promise that could only be fulfilled with a victory by the Entente Allies. The 'vain enticements' of the postcard eventually worked: Italy declared its neutrality on August 3, 1914, then war on Austria-Hungary on May 23, 1915. An illustrated postcard by R. Ventura. |
