He didn't actually give a reason for why the campaign failed. 1: The Turks knew about it months before it happened. When the ships sailed for Turkey from Egypt, people were holding banners that read " Good Luck in Gallipoli " 2: There was ZERO reconnaisance done of the landing beaches. No maps were available for the troops that survived the initial landings so they couldn't provide targeting information to the battleships anchored offshore, or find their way through the ravines and razorback ridges. 3: There were no boats moored to guide the landing tugs in. 4: The British Generals has zero respect for their Turkish enemy and expected them to run or surrender at the first shot. 5: There were many well sited machineguns facing the landing ship.... not just riflemen. 6: The Turks had better Generals and suicidally brave soldiers.7: The British General Commanding was 61 years old and had not had a combat command since the Boer War. He also had a sore knee and stayed aboard a ship, with the only communication available being rowboats that brought hopelessly out of date messages. He was asleep on board at the time of the landing at Suvla Bay. Lest We Forget.

My great grandfather was a technical expert who was send to help defend Gallipoli as part of the German detachment. He actually received a medal from the Ottomans, which is still in the family. After the war he was detained in Constantinople by the British. Situation there was apparently a lot better than in Germany at the time and he was pretty free to roam around the city, so he didn't mind that much.

An interesting historical fact about this military campaign from the Turkish side is that Mustafa Kemal Ataturk, as a young Lt. Col., was given the command of the 19th Reserve Division, situated quite near to Gallipoli. At the beginning of the campaign, he was stationed in Bulgaria and he asked for a transfer to the war zone. The chief of general staff, Enver Pasha, who knew Mustafa Kemal's accomplishments and his leadership qualities, saw him as a rival despite the fact that his rank was much lower. Thus, he sent him to Gallipoli, where the landings were not expected at all. The Turkish General Staff together with the Germans thought that the Allies would land further north in the Gulf of Saros and that's where they were waiting with most of their troops. However, in the very early hours of April 25, 1915, when the first Ally troops landed in Gallipoli, a Turkish obsevation post gave information of suspicious enemy activity to the nearest military camp, which was the 19th Reserve Division of Mustafa Kemal. He instantly knew that this was the main landing and mobilized his 57th Regiment of 2000 men. He had them sneak into Gallipoli without being seen by the enemy while it was dark and without informing higher command of what he was doing because of some news of suspicious enemy activity. He knew that going through channels would cost him precious time, which he hadn't. In his memories he recalls, "when we had finally reached the landing spot in the early morning, the enemy was much closer to me than my regiment that was still taking its position." There he gave his famous command, "I order you not to fight but to die. In the time that it takes us to die, our forces and commanders will come and take our place." This tactical order of him was given because of the desperate situation in which they were. The main landing of the Allies had started and the headquarters of the Turkish Army with its divisions was many miles away. He changed the course of the war all by himself, and may they rest in peace, all 2000 soldiers of the 57th Regiment gave their lives.

The Gallipoli landing was said to be complete fuck up...but bear in mind it was Churchill himself who masterminded this invasion. Just as Ataturk was there on his part, so as not to have any real battle to fight...I am of the opinion that Churchill knew damn well where he was dropping these soldiers off...and did so as a decoy to allow British troops to walk ashore further along the coast. He never expected the untested Australians to put in such a stellar performance and stay put, hence the reinforcing began. But then...there stood Ataturk up front also. Two great nations came out of one historical fuckup.

My father was on Gallipoli as a stretcher bearer working at casualty clearing stations. He was on the last boat to leave at the evacuation and was asked to stay on incase of casualties at the end. His work with Bob Hawke and the Turkish government led to the official naming of ANZAC Cove on all maps. He was secretary of the Gallipoli Legion of Anzacs for many years in Sydney and lived until 1985. He also saw the western front after Gallipoli with the 14th Field ambulance (55th battalion). My sister and I, along with my wife went to Gallipoli for the 100th commemoration in 2015. One is surprised at how small the area is that was under constant fire. Once there, the troops had no respite and it amazed us all at how anyone survived. My dad also held the Turks in high esteem and being honourable and at the 70th commemoration when he went back with the official party for that commemoration he was able to meet with Turkish veterans. What an awful fiasco. Lest we forget.

I don't watch to video but i want to say something about this war. We just fighted for our independence. We just defend our lands. We kill a lot of Anzac and they kill our soldiers. But Anzacs have our respect because they fighted with their honor. They wasn't our enemy, our enemy was UK but they send to Anzacs.. Two oppressed nation killed themselfs.UK just watched this war. This is really sad. They said to Anzacs "Turks are cannibal, if you don't kill them, they will eat you"... This words from Anzac soldier's memory books.. This is terrible.. Anyways, Anzacs always have our respect, our great leader Mustafa Kemal Atatürk(Commander of our independence War) said something for Anzacs : Those heroes that shed their blood and lost their lives. You are now living in the soil of a friendly country therefore rest in peace. There is no difference between the Johnnies and the Mehmets to us where they lie side by side here in this country of ours. You, the mothers, who sent their sons from faraway countries wipe away your tears; your sons are now lying in our bosom and are in peace. After having lost their lives on this land they have become our sons as well.

My Grandfather was a medic at the Somme, I was raised in Australia and remember being a banner carrier as a cadet in the 1970s when there were still Veterans of this campaign at our ANZAC day marches. The thing that struck me that day during the 7 or so services I attended was the Turkish memorial and the regard Kemal Attaturk had for his country's invaders and their bravery when he wrote the letter telling the mothers their sons would be held in the bosom of their people. I cried. The sad thing is our politicians fail to understand and respect War and continue to create them due to their own greed and vanity whilst kissing the heels of the self appointed World leader.

Please go back and check some of your source material. The ANZACs were actually put ashore on the beaches that General Birdwood had decided that they should be. He was not happy with the landing areas that had been nominated in the original plan and so he changed the plan. He carried out extensive reconnaissance, via personal observation from a destroyer (even going to the extent of dressing in Naval Uniform whilst on the bridge) as well as ariel photography. He noted that the original landing beaches were protected by extensive wire entanglements below the waterline; as you point out was also the case elsewhere on the peninsular. As at W and V beaches the area was also covered by well-placed machine guns and entrenched infantry in large numbers. Gen Birdwood noticed a small cove where there were no wire entanglements and very little breastworks or entrenched infantry. He picked that beach, now ANZAC Cove, and what is now known as North Beach, to be the point of the attack. Unfortunately for the ANZACs: the reason that the Turks had not established any significant defences in that area was due to the terrain being a natural defence. When the attack failed and the objectives of the day were not realised: General Birdwood wrote a letter to his wife and blamed the currents for 'taking the boats off course'. The Royal Commission in 1919 bore that out. Two of my Great Uncles fought at Gallipoli and went on to deploy to France: they were fortunate to have made it through the war and returned to the families. I visited Gallipoli in 2002 and can only say that my admiration for all who fought and died in that campaign grew exponentially! Interestingly: The Gallipoli Campaign was the focal point of planning for the D-Day invasion of 1944. Both sides studied the cmapaign to try to determine the actions required to win the day. The Nazi command, under Field Marshal Rommel, planned to annihilate the invaders on the beach. The Allies knew that it was imperative to get off the beach on the one day or lose! Rommel almost succeeded, but allied supremacy at sea and in the air overcame the planning and guaranteed allied success on the ground. That and the willingness of the infantry and supporting arms to maintain the momentum. Lest We Forget.

Considering only 51 thousand allied soldiers died...that would mean Turkey suffered horribly, even if it held the high ground. The battles were one thing.. the sickness and hunger were the real enemy of the Turks, making it a very bitter win for Turkey. Ataturk realized that Turkey could no longer afford to be enemies with such people. Hence the reason we became friends, especially how Australians at Beersheba and throughout the middle east caused the routing of the ottoman empire at its final moments. I would certainly offer the hand of friendship to such people also. But, A friendship it has indeed been. Marked with honor off the Fighters and fallen of both sides. But tragically...it may be marred by the actions of a radical faction of Turkish politics today....those men that do not remember nor have honor themselves. Those pushing for the old ways of conquest to return again.... which will see Turkey and its people suffer again....ten fold in these modern days of warfare. Greetings and Kudos, Brother! Live well and go with god in your hearts.

The question then becomes would it have been enough to allow British warships through the Straits? Were the British and their allies going to head to Constantinople? No way. But if the British held enough of the strait, Constantinople could have been bombarded by British warships. With all the bravery of the Trukish troops, they were helped by the terrain. Honestly I think if the planners knew of the actual terrain, it wouldn't have been given a go, or would have been very different.

Dan Snow needs to visit the Australian War Memorial Museum and speak to the military historians there who will put him right as to what went wrong at Anzac Cove. That beach is almost exactly in the middle of the stretch of coast line identified for the landing. There was not an opposition force in depth, certainly no machine guns which were held in reserve. The landing troops were stopped by a brigade commander before they reached their objective on the heights. He had no confidence in the plan and he also convinced the following brigade commander to not proceed. This allowed the Turks to get reinforcements and bring down a withering fire on the ANZAC forces who were lower down the slopes. If the troops had not been stopped the outcome may have been very different. What passes for the truth in Australia was the media spin put up to account for why the landings had not succeeded. It is about time the real story was told.

All Australians and Kiwis are schooled on the Gallipoli campaign and the horrific losses. No one ever mentions that the French committed a similar amount of troops and had similar casualties. The Anzacs were fighting in far flung lands for the folly of “empire” so were all at sea anyway, but why French generals left their homes and villages to attack Turkey, I’ll never know. I suppose they had their own ideas of empire in the Middle East, but there were German trenches not far from Paris, and none in Sydney or London.

Having seen Gallipoli for myself I cannot but agree. Talk about being poorly prepared or informed the British Generals new less about this part of Turkey than they knew about the Moon. My grandmother's first cousin was part of the Australian First Battalion who landed late in the afternoon of April 25. He was there for over three months, never once removing his boots, as a consequence he had to be evacuated (to a hospital in Malta) it effectively saved his life as he avoided the battle of Lone Pine. But it just delayed the inevitable - he found death on the Somme.

If it had been a "combined" operation, i.e. Troops landing as the Allied fleet made it's attempt to force the Narrows, there was a chance of it succeeding. In March, the Turks did not have the trenches and prepared positions in place that they had in April; and they had considerably fewer troops in the peninsula to defend them. The few Royal Marines who landed in March, faced almost no opposition and wandered about, enjoying the peace and quiet, wondering where the Turks were.

Keyes went through Turkish archives postwar and discovered that there were many moments when the Turkish forces were broken and their line wide open, but the Allied troops were to exhausted to take advantage of it or the Allies did not realize their advantage. He surmises that another concentrated naval push with modern BB and minesweepers would have overwhelmed the remaining forts and allowed the British fleet to engage the Turkish Fleet which had serious technology short comings. Had the British been able to force the passage and take out the fleet, the Turks would have likely sued for peace at that point, which would have a been a significant goal for the Allies. British subs were able to dominate the waterway despite the very treacherous currents and conditions. Making Turkish troop and supply movement by ship impossible.

Why Were the Gallipoli Landings so Disastrous? didn't answer the question though. let's start at the beginning. British command in Egypt openly discussed the coming invasion in cafes, on the street, in fact anywhere. right in front of Arabs loyal to the ottoman empire, so by the time the ANZACS hit the beaches the place was crawling with Turks. had the empire forces said nothing, had they kept the landings a secret until the day of the landings Gallipoli would have been virtually deserted. even Ataturk said that in his memoirs. but the British thought themselves superior to every other race. and it costs the lives of thousands of ANZACS. then on the day, the navy didn't factor in tides and wind. the lighter operators were inexperienced and, as pointed out 'got lost'. Australians did get to the top of the ridges and signaled success but the British officers aboard the ships didn't believe them. a lot of the blame can be laid squarely at the feet of one Winston Churchill for his stubborn, uneducated methods and for not asking those 'on the ground' for advice. but then we saw British 'superiority' cause untold carnage at Dieppe and Singapore so they didn't learn a bloody thing from their mistakes of the WWI and repeated many in WWII.
