Explanation

The Battle of Gallipoli took place from 1915 to 1916. It was a significant military campaign during World War I in which the Allied forces, primarily Australia and New Zealand Army Corps (ANZAC), aimed to capture the Ottoman Empire's capital, Constantinople (present-day Istanbul) by capturing the peninsula of Gallipoli. However, the Ottoman troops fiercely defended their positions, resulting in heavy casualties on both sides. Despite several offensives and counterattacks, the Allies ultimately failed to achieve their objectives, and the campaign ended in an evacuation of their forces in January 1916. The Battle of Gallipoli holds historical importance as it showcased the resilience and bravery of the ANZAC troops and had a lasting impact on the national identities of Australia and New Zealand.
