The Gallipoli Campaign was one of the most ambitious and costly Allied operations of the First World War. Intended to force the Dardanelles, threaten Constantinople, and open a supply route to Russia, it instead became a brutal struggle of landings, trenches, disease, heat, failed offensives, and eventual evacuation. In this episode of Compact Warfare, we explore why Gallipoli was launched, how the campaign unfolded, why it failed, and why it remains so important to the histories of Britain, Australia, New Zealand, Turkey, and the wider First World War.
