    Battle Gallipoli

    The Countries That
    Were involved in
    Gallipoli

    The countries that were involved in


    the Gallipoli were 
    United Kingdom         

    Australia

    France

    New Zealand

    Turkey

    Germany
    Why the
    Campaign was
    Fought
    The Gallipoli Campaign was fought
    to weaken Turkey, an ally of
    Germany. It would also open up the
    Dardanelles for the navy. If the
    campaign was successful, it would
    provide a great advantage to the
    allies in their endeavor to beat
    Germany. 
    What Happened
    During the Gallipoli
    Campaign
    At dawn on 25 April 1915, Allied troops landed
    on the Gallipoli peninsula in Ottoman Turkey.
    Due to the horrible terrain, and the Turkish
    resistance, there where around 26,111
    Australian, 27,000 French, and 115,000 British
    casualties. Gallipoli influence on the outcome of
    the war was small. If the campaign had been
    successful, it would be good for the allies. Alas,
    the allies suffered a great many casualties
    throughout the campaign, making it a great
    failure. 
    The Impact
    That Gallipoli
    Had
    The impact that Gallipoli had was
    nil in terms of winning the war. But
    as it was Australia’s first entrance
    onto the global stage, it is seen as
    both a tragedy, and a nationwide
    ‘legend’. It is unique in that not
    many battles are ‘celebrated’
    because they were lost.
    When was
    the Gallipoli
    Campaign
    T H E B AT T L E O F G A L L I P O L I
    WA S F R O M 2 5 A P R I L 1 9 1 5 - 9
    J A N U A RY 1 9 1 6 , A Y E A R A F T E R

    Where Gallipoli
    Was Fought
    The Gallipoli peninsula, where the
    battle was fought, is in the southern
    part of East-Thrace, the European
    part of Turkey. The terrain was
    characterized by rocky ground with
    little vegetation, and hilly land with
    steep ravines.
    Source
    Analysis
    This is a secondary visual source (photo) of
    where the ANZACS landed. It is secondary
    because it shows the area as it is now, it would
    have been a bit different back then. Despite this,
    the source is a photo of where it happened and
    is highly reliable in demonstrating the peril the
    ANZACS faced. The Turks were on top of the
    cliffs, and the ANZACS and Co entered from
    the sea. This shows just how bad it would have
    been for the ANZACS, with the Turks firing
    down on them and the ANZACS having to fight
    their way up the cliff. No wonder so many lost
    their lives.
