The Gallipoli Campaign

The Turkish Offensive

The Battle of the Nek

The Landing at Anzac Cove

The Evacuation

The Battle of Lone Pine

The Turkish offensive was planned to drive the ANZACS off the beach and back to the seas primarily those stationed at Anzac Cove. The battle occurred at Anzac cove, Gallipoli on the 19th of May 1915. The main forces that took part in the Turkish offensive was The Ottoman Empire with 42,000 troops and 17,000 ANZACS as well as soldiers from the allied nations. The terrain featured in the Turkish Offensive was mountainous with very steep cliffs protecting the allies from the Turks and vice-versa. The Australia army landed on a beach and were stationed on the beach were the were protected by the steep cliffs. The Turks lacked the technology that the allies possessed such as artillery and ammunition but they were very loyal fighters and decided to plan a surprise attack however the allies had seen their movements and had not been surprised when they attacked. The Turks are said to have attacked in waves and in mass formations and had been caught in 'no mans land' once the allies had opened fire. After the bloody attack a truce was made so that each side could recover their dead and count the losses, the Turks sustained heavy losses of 3,000 dead and 10,000 wounded whilst the ANZACS only had 160 dead and 468 wounded. Even though the Turks sustained such heavy losses no ground was taken or lost and remains a battle of large costs with no benefit for either side.

The Second Battle of Krithia

The Landing at Suvla Bay

The Stalemate

The Third Battle of Krithia

This battle was an attempt to capture the heights of Achi Baba and then seize Kilid Bahr. It started on the Cape Helles and was put into action by the British, French, Australian and New Zealand armies. The terrain that was fought on during this battle was largely open and was not fitting for an advance. This battle was also difficult for the allies because the Turkish forces had good defense, with the help of trenches, and they had artillery such as sufficient shells, which was something the Allies lacked. This battle was fought during the day for fear that a night advance would cause confusion. The Allies didn't end up reaching their goal and taking down the Turkish defences, but they did gain a little bit of ground.

The allied forces were planning to have another attack at Anzac Cove with reinforcement troops as a final attempt to break the German and Turkish defense lines, but the beaches were too cramped so they decided to move the attack to Suvla Bay. They also moved to Suvla Bay because they wanted to put pressure in the Turkish from a different area. The attack at Sulva Bay also took the pressure off the Anzac troops elsewhere in Gallipoli because the Turks has to spread out to cover the multiple attack zones. The attack started of the 6th of August 1915, at roughly 10pm. The attack happened at Suvla Bay on the Aegean Coast of Gallipoli. Sir Frederick Stopford, was one of the main reasons for the attack at Suvla Bay's failure. He was an inexperienced British soldier and his delay of orders and mismanagement cost the allied forces their final attempt at breaking the German and Turkish defense lines.

This battle was the third in a series of launched attacks to capture the high ground at Achi Baba. It was a battle fought against the Turks by the British, French and Indian troops and it took place at Cape Hellas. Throughout this period of battle, the Allies had been discretely extending their trenches towards the Turks so in case they wanted to launch an attack, they would have less ground to cover. The Allies' plan of attack for this battle was to catch the Turkish troops defending the trenches by surprise by launching an artillery bombardment which would hopefully cause them to come out from under their cover and become exposed. Once they were out in the open, the Allies would then launch a second attack. This plan was unfortunately a failure. Nevertheless, the Allies did gain land and they caused heavy Turkish casualties, but once again the Turkish soldiers resisted the Allies' advance.
