Did the Anzac troops lose the battle of Gallipoli?

Answer 1

It was, from start to finish a poorly conducted mission characterised by poor leadership at the highest level. This is not to criticise the men at the front line, but the standard of Generalship on the allied side was poor to say the least. The Turkish defenders held the high ground & there was no successful penetration of their defenses. Eventually the evacuation was successful in terms that it was not contested by the Turks, but the whole operation achieved very little indeed.

The Gallipoli campaign was a failure. The Allied troops were attempting to reach Constantinople, which was the capital of the Ottoman Empire at that time. They failed to do so because the nature of trench warfare meant it was impossible to make any sizeable advance across territory defended with machine guns.

Like other battlefields in other areas during the First World War, thousands of troops died in futile efforts to gain tiny stretches of terrain.

Eventually, the British commanders realised the attempt to take Gallipoli was impossible, not to mention reaching Constantinople, and withdrew the Allied forces. The Turks had successfully defended their homeland.

ANZAC troops were generally considered to be of good quality, but badly-disciplined. Other troops fought at Gallipoli on the Allied side besides Australians and New Zealanders - they included French, British and Indian troops.

We evacuated in December of 1915.
