TRUE STORY ABOUT GALLIPOLI CAMPAIGN
The Gallipoli Campaign, also known as the Dardanelles Campaign
or the Battle of Gallipoli or the Battle of Çanakkale (Turkish:
Çanakkale Savaşı), took place on the Gallipoli peninsula in the
Ottoman Empire (now Gelibolu in modern day Turkey) between 25 April
1915 and 9 January 1916, during the First World War. A joint
British and French operation was mounted to capture the Ottoman
capital of Constantinople (Istanbul) and secure a sea route to
Russia. The attempt failed, with heavy casualties on both sides.
The campaign was considered one of the greatest victories of the
Turks and was reflected on as a major failure by the Allies.
The Gallipoli campaign resonated profoundly among all nations
involved. In Turkey, the battle is perceived as a defining moment
in the history of the Turkish people—a final surge in the defence
of the motherland as the aging 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.
