The Gallipoli campaign- Copy:
The Gallipoli campaign was a military campaign in the First World War that took place on the Gallipoli peninsula, from 17 February 1915 to 9 January 1916. The Entente powers, Britain, France and Russia, sought to weaken the Ottoman Empire, one of the Central Powers, by taking control of the Turkish straits.
The Goals:
To get control over the Dardanelles and Bosporus straits
With control over this 67 kilometer stretch of water, it would be much easier to invade Constantinople and, eventually, eliminate Turkey from the War.
To open a supply route via the Black Sea to Russia, a British ally.
Eventually attacking Germany’s main other ally, Austria-Hungary
Shortening the war by taking down Germany’s allies
