Days before the 100th anniversary of the ending of World War I, John Deak, a visiting associate professor of European history at Notre Dame, presented “The Limits of Modern Warfare: Stalemate, Technology, and the Isonzo Front in the First World War” to the Pennsylvania College of Technology community as part of the school's Technology & Society Colloquia Series. Deak shared his research into an area about which most Americans know little – the dozen battles between the Austro-Hungarian and Italian armies near the Isonzo River – and illustrated how technology factors into the seemingly eternal desire to subdue one’s enemies. Deak's visit was arranged through a collaboration between Penn College and the Notre Dame Club of Greater Williamsport.
