The Dardanelles CampaignThis is a featured page




Anzac Cove Landing

The Allied naval assault and amphibious landings against the Turkish-held Dardanelles Straits is one of the most controversial campaigns of the Great War. The innovative plan is considered the precursor to the D-Day Invasion of Normandy in 1944. Blame for the campaign's failure is shifted between First Lord of the Admiralty Winston Churchill, Secretary of State for War Lord Kitchener, General Sir Ian Hamilton, and others. Credit for the Turkish victory is spit between Turkish Lieutenant Colonel Mustafa Kemal and German General Otto Limon von Sanders. The event played a critical role in defining Australian as well as Turkish national identity.
