The Cattaro mutiny was an unsuccessful revolt by sailors of the Austro-Hungarian Navy in 1918. The mutiny took place in the Gulf of Cattaro naval base. As World War I progressed, the cumulative effects of wartime economic and social disorganization became pervasive and the discipline of Austro-Hungarian soldiers faded away. Hunger, cold and pointless drills resulted in complaints, desertions and strikes. Revolutionary propaganda fuelled by the example of the Russian Revolution spread among soldiers and workers.
