The landing of the troops for the Gallipoli Campaign was a disaster. This was completely ineffective and cost many ANZAC lives. The original landing locations, such as ANZAC cove were thin strips of beach, with minimal room for the soldiers. Additionally steep cliffs backed the beach which made it extremely difficult to fight the defending Turks, who were located

World War 1 (1914-1918) was the first official war that Australians took part in, only thirteen years after federating as a country in 1901. During this time, thousands of lives were lost, families were torn apart, and friends were never seen again. April 25th became the national day to commemorate the ANZAC soldiers who had served overseas. Even now, 100 years later, people still remember those who sacrificed themselves for Australia, those who fought and fell in many battles to protect the country they lived in. The Gallipoli Campaign is the most famous battle of World War 1, the battle that every Australian household knows about. However, other battles such as the ones on the

The Battle of Gallipoli, also referred to as The Gallipoli Campaign of 1915-16 or the Dardanelles Campaign, was a decisive battle in World War One during which Allied Powers attempted to take control over the sea route between Europe and Russia. Overall, the battle is largely considered a failure. There were many forces that acted against the Allies during the campaign, main causes of the loss were the repelling of the initial naval attack, the failure of the invasion of the Gallipoli Peninsula by the British, French, and ANZAC (Australian and New Zealand Army Corps), and the high level of resistance from the Turks, and an extreme lack in planning

The Battle of Gallipoli, or the Gallipoli Campaign, was fought during the First World War. It is known by either name because the Battle of Gallipoli featured many different battles and phases that comprised the entirety of the campaign. This engagement began on February 17, 1915 and ended on January 9, 1916. The Allied forces were tasked with attempting to secure the strait. The purpose of this was twofold: first, it provided the Russian Empire with much-needed shipping access, and second, it would serve to cut the Ottoman Empire in half. The Allies also planned to capture the capital of the Ottoman Empire during this operation. The British and the French attempted to launch a combined naval offensive

The film Gallipoli takes place during World War I's Gallipoli campaign in 1915. The two main characters in the film are Archy and Frank. Archy and Frank are from Western Australia and they both enlist to fight in Gallipoli. Archy is an extremely fast runner who meets Frank at an athletics competition. We can see from the beginning that Archy is eager to join the war. After being turned down because he was underage, he goes to Perth, anxious for someone to accept him into the light horsemen. Frank, however, is skeptical about Australians wanting to join the war. He tells Archy that it's "not our war to fight". Despite this statement, Frank eventually joins up into the Infantry.

World War I (1914-1918) was considered the 'Great War' and Australia’s Gallipoli campaign has always been considered as the pinnacle of the Australian military feats. This is due to the constant glorification of the event despite the fact it was an unmitigated failure. However, the work of the Australian army force in the most important battleground of WW1 the 'Western Front' is often cast under the shadow of Gallipoli. The battles on the Western Front took place in France, Belgium and parts of Germany and this is where some of the most pivotal battles were fought. The contribution and success of the Australians will be assessed through the analysis of several sources related to four major contributions related to the Western Front. These include the amount of Australians involved, the external opinions of Australia in the Western front, The Battle of

The landing at Gallipoli was often considered to be one of the most important events in the Gallipoli campaign, but there were other events that were equally or more important. This essay discuss those events.

Gallipoli is the remarkable story of two Western Australian mates who are sent to Gallipoli in 1915. Frank and Archie are both very successful sprinters and Archie wants adventure, while Frank wants to stay in Australia, but signs up for the inventory anyway.

At the battlefields of Gallipoli, the ANZACS faced many new technologies of warfare that had devastating effects. On the 25 of April 1915, the ANZACS performed an amphibious attack on the shores of Gallipoli. Machine guns, failed preparation and new styles of warfare caused Gallipoli to be a failed battle that brought devastation to all. Australian efforts to capture Gallipoli were greatly affected by these new technologies of warfare.

The Gallipoli peninsula is located in Turkish Thrace - the European part of Turkey - with the Aegean Sea to the west and the Dardanelles strait to the east. Gallipoli was to be a pivotal moment in the War movement. The campaigns purpose was to destroy Germany through the demise of their allies, The Triple Alliance; through control of the Gallipoli Peninsula, the allies would occupy 67 kilometres of the Dardanelles waterway. If the Dardanelles were occupied, Britain could invade Constantinople in the belief that in the collapse of the capital, Turkey would be in allied control. The invasion of Turkey would have allowed Britain and the allies to establish a Southern Front against the Central Powers.

The Battle at Anzac Cove was part of a larger campaign attempt by the ANZACs, British, and French troops to land at, overrun, and ultimately control the Dardanelles Strait. On January 13th, 1915 the British War Council voted to launch a naval expedition to bombard the forts at the tip of Gallipoli, take the Dardanelles Strait, and ultimately, secure the objective of Constantinople.

On the 25th of April 1915, I landed at North Beach, Gallipoli. It was World War I. The Huns (Germans) had been building their navy and were challenging Britain’s supremacy of the sea (Gallipoli Campaign, 2012). Britain sought to achieve control of the Dardanelles and the Bosporus straits, capture Constantinople, and open a Black Sea supply route to her ally Russia (Gallipoli Campaign, 2012). In simple terms, the Gallipoli campaign was a bloody war with Turkey over trade routes. Turkey had aligned themselves with the Ottoman Empire and barricaded the straits with mines and fortresses. In the March of 1915, the navy (British) had tried and failed to clear the straits and so on April 25th, British, French, Australian, and New Zealand troops landed along the east coast of the Gallipoli Peninsula, at North Beach, Cape Helles (British and French), and sadly, ANZAC Cove (Gallipoli Campaign, 2012).

In 1914, long-term tensions between European powers sparked a detrimental global conflict known as World War 1. During this time, Australia held a strong alliance with Britain, which meant that when Britain declared war, Australia willingly backed its mother country “to the last man and the last shilling” (Fisher, 1914). The Gallipoli campaign was one of many battles, yet its effect on Australia was most significant. The primary goal was to capture the Dardanelles, allowing supplies to be shipped to Russian troops in Germany (Darlington et al, 2012, p.236). After the initial attempt by naval attack failed, another attack was planned. In 1915, 78 000 ANZAC soldiers landed on the shores of Gallipoli possessing unique qualities. Even though this campaign was considered a military failure, an inspiring legacy was born. Through establishing these undeniable qualities of courage, sacrifice, mateship and endurance, and comparing them to the legend, it is evident that the ANZAC legend is an accurate portrayal of the Australian soldiers during World War 1.

Every year New Zealand remembers the anniversary of the Gallipoli landing. The day when thousands of men, far from home and their families, arrived at Gallipoli Peninsula in what is now Turkey. New Zealand’s journey to Gallipoli began with the outbreak of war between the United Kingdom and Germany in August 1914. A year later, British authorities send Australian and New Zealand forces to capture the Dardanelles, the gateway to Bosporus and the Black Sea
