Avlonia has a very critical importance for the Adriatic Sea, and since the beginning of the twentieth century its influence and resistance has increased significantly, especially in the Adriatic Sea competition between Italy and the Austrian-Hungarian Empire. Although the Italian Navy was quite active in the Mediterranean in terms of military power before the First World War, the Austrian-Hungarian Empire Navy was unable to establish a complete and precise domination over the Adriatic Sea due to its influence. The Italians, who were in competition with the French Navy in the west of the Mediterranean Sea, considered it appropriate to close the lack of war vessels in their vessels by winning domination in the area, and occupied the port of Avlonia at the very beginning of the First World War. Thus, the Italians gained an advantage both against the Austrian-Hungarian Empire in the Adriatic Sea and against Greece in the Balkans. Besiding a port of strategic importance for the Navy, during the armed fighter vessels, increased the strength of the Navy in the region once more. Despite this advantage, the Italian military capacity is not enough to arbitrate the port of Avlonia continuously and effectively from the sea, from the ground, because Avlonia, Germany and Austria-Hungary were bombed by the marine and air elements and the Italians lost. In this context, our work was attempted to identify the importance and resistance of the port of Avlonya in the context of the Italian Navy's strategy in the Adriatic Sea during the First World War.
