THE GALLIPOLI CAMPAIGN

The Gallipoli Campaign took place at peninsula of Gallipoli in the

Ottoman Empire, now called Gelibolu by the Turkish . The First World

War was between 25th of April 1915 and 9th of January 1916. A

operation made by the British and French was set to capture the

Ottoman capital of Istanbul and secure a sea route to Russia. The

attempt failed with heavy casualties on both sides. The campaign was

considered one of the most greatest victories of the Turkish and was

reflected on as a major failure by the allies.

THE GALLIPOLI CAMPAIGN

The Gallipoli campaign resonated intensely among all nations

involved. In Turkey, the battle is understand as a defining moment

in the history of the Turkish people- a final wave in the defence of

the motherland as the Ottoman Empire was crumbling. The

struggle laid the grounds for the Turkish War of Independence and

the foundation of the Republic of Turkey eight years later under

Mustafa Kemal Atatürk, himself a commander at Gallipoli.

THE GALLIPOLI CAMPAIGN

The Gallipoli campaign was the first major war undertaken

by ANZAC (Australian and New Zealand Army Corps) and is

considered to mark the birth of national consciousness in

both countries. Anzac Day, the 25th of April remains as the

most significant commemoration of all the Anzac people

that died in that battle, surpassing Armistice Day/

Remembrance Day.

THE BATTLE OF GALLIPOLI

AFTERMATHThe Gallipoli Campaign cost the Allies 141,113 and the Turkish 195,000 men.

Gallipoli was proved to be the Turkish's greatest victory of the war. In London,

the campaign's failure led to the demotion of Winston Churchill and the

collapse of Prime Minister H. H. Asquith's government. The battle at Gallipoli

proved a inspiring national experience for the ANZAC, which had not previously

fought in a major battle. As a result, the anniversary of the landings, April 25th,

is know and celebrated as ANZAC Day and is both nations most significant day

of military remembrance.
