The "Skoda houfnice vz 14" was created in 1914. It was used by the Austro-Hungarian Army during World War I. Large numbers of the howitzers were acquired by Italy after the break-up of the Austro-Hungarian Empire in 1918. An improved version of the howitzer was created in 1919. The main improvement was a longer barrel offering greater range that which could be mounted in the old howitzer beds.
