Gallipoli

Gallipoli
War was declared in 1914.  Hundreds of thousands of soldiers from all over the world went to Europe, the Middle East and Turkey to fight against the Germans, the Turks and their allies.  
I think that war was unnecessary.

The Gallipoli War only happened because the Allied ships wanted to go through the Turkish waters, but the young Turkish men stopped the New Zealanders, Australians, French and the British soldiers from taking over the Gallipoli peninsula.   Many thousands of soldiers died, both Turks and ANZACs and the other Allies.  And it seemed like they did it for no results and achieved nothing except lots of deaths.

  1. Hi Charlotte
    What do you think the enemy countries could have done to prevent or stop the war, instead of fighting each other?
    Thanks
