1. The Battle of Gallipoli
By: Danika K, Allie S, Alex B, Jarrett Chang-Lam

2. Thesis
The Gallipoli Campaign was overall a failed mission by the Allied Powers to secure a sea route to Russia to remove Turkey from the war. However, it succeeded in crippling the Ottoman empire, and through a strong increase in nationalism, raised up the nations of Australia and New Zealand to become players on a global scale.

3. Gallipoli Campaign of 1915-1916
Was an unsuccessful attempt by the Allied Powers to control sea route from Europe to Russia
Started with unsuccessful naval attack by British and French on Dardanelles Straits and Gallipoli Peninsula
Hampered by lack of knowledge of terrain
World War I was stalled on Western Front by 1915
Russia asked Britain for aid in confronting Turkish invasion in Caucasus, Allies decided to capture straits to kick Turkey out
If things went as planned, Allies would link up with Russia in Black Sea and kick Turkey out of the war

5. Planned by Winston Churchill, First Lord of British Admiralty
The general was Ian Hamilton
78,000 troops
Mostly British, some were French, Australian and New Zealand
Turkish fire and mines sank three ships and damaged three more
Allies launched invasion on Gallipoli Peninsula on April 25, 1915
Two main assaults
British at Cape Hellas
Australian and New Zealand at Ari Burna
Indecision among allies stalled progress; Ottoman reinforcements were able to arrive
Decided to evacuate after casualties kept rising and ended up in trench warfare
Three-stage evacuation
Began in December 1915 and ended in January 1916

8. Impact on the Ottoman Empire
The Ottoman Empire was crippled and would not have much more of a role to play in the rest of WWI
Mustafa Kemal, a Turkish Lieutenant Colonel, gained recognition for his leadership during the battle and after the collapse of the Ottoman Empire, he helped found the Republic of Turkey and was its first president.

9. Impact on Britain
The Campaign was ultimately a failure leading a loss of troops and not much else
Winston Churchill as the engineer of the Gallipoli campaign was forced to resign from his position of First Lord of the British Admiralty

10. Impact on Australia and New Zealand
Gallipoli was the first and last time that Australia or New Zealand allowed Britain to command their troops. They would later command their own men and take responsibility for their own military successes or failures
The heroism of the ANZAC (Australia and New Zealand Army Corps) gained them recognition on a more global scale
Australia and New Zealand were no longer seen as second rate countries
