gallipoli (25 abr 1915 año – 9 ene 1916 año)

Descripción:

The Gallipoli campaign (25 April 1915 – 9 January 1916) was the land-based component of a strategy designed to allow Allied ships to pass through the Dardanelles, capture Constantinople (now Istanbul), and eventually force Ottoman Turkey to withdraw from the war. However, Allied plans were based on the mistaken assumption that the Ottomans could be easily defeated.
t dawn on 25 April 1915, Allied troops landed on the Gallipoli peninsula in Ottoman Turkey. General Sir Ian Hamilton decided to make two landings, placing the British 29th Division at Cape Helles and the Australian and New Zealand Army Corps (ANZAC) north of Gaba Tepe in an area later dubbed Anzac Cove. Both landings were quickly contained by determined Ottoman troops and neither the British nor the Anzacs were able to advance.
