It was an absolute disaster for the British and French expeditionary forces. The landings were alright for the British and French, but once on the beach, there was a very narrow strip of land until the terrain became mountainous and hilly. Here, the Turkish troops were dug in and the British "over the top" charges did not work and achieve their objective of breaking the Turkish defence. The Turkish troops were too well prepared and entrenched in well defended positions for the British and French to take, and obstacles such as well positioned machine gun posts wreaked havoc on the British and French soldiers and caused mass casualties in the charges across no mans land between the trenches in an effort to break the Turkish lines. Therefore, after months of hard fighting, the British and French troops pulled out of Gallipoli, having been defeated.
