Gelibolu (2005)

After the Battle of the Marne River in 1914, the allies and allies fell into a stalemate on the front between northern France and Belgium. The French minister recommended a "peripheral strategy" to break the deadlock. In November 1914, British Navy Secretary Winston Churchill proposed to use the strength of the British navy to open the Dardanelles and then land at Gallipoli to drive Turkey out of the war in Istanbul, the capital of the Ottoman Empire. On the one hand, it relieves the pressure on the Russian Caucasus front. The Golden Horn Sea, controlled by Constantinople, can go straight to the Black Sea to support the bloody Russian army. In addition, we hope to open up the southern front and attack the Austro-Hungarian Empire. It is true that this idea is quite clever in strategy, but it has been put into practice in a mess. On January 2, 1915, the British government accepted Nicholas II's request and decided to launch a new front in the Dardanelles. This battle was one of the most famous battles in World War I and the largest sea landing operation at that time. Australia and New Zealand set up Australia-New Zealand Legion Day to commemorate the landing date on April 25. @ m.yakutv.cc
