Gallipoli
the Gallipoli peninsula
In 1915, during World War I, Allied forces invaded a small peninsula located in the Ottoman Empire and called Gallipoli. Located at the western tip of the Dardanelles Strait, the first narrow waterway allowing access to the Black Sea from the Mediterranean, Gallipoli was tenaciously defended by Ottoman (or, Turkish) defenders, who succeeded in blocking the Allied attempt to penetrate inland via their Gallipoli beachhead.
The main goal of the Gallipoli campaign was to gain control over the Gallipoli peninsula. This neck of land overlooked the most direct sea route to Russia and was strategically important in World War I.

The goal was to knock Turkey out of the war, then concentrate on Germany and Austria. Although the Ottoman (Turkish) Empire was in severe decline, their army proved to be much tougher than the Allies anticipated, and Gallipoli was a failure.
