The launch of the Gallipoli campaign by allied troops took place upon this day, and the ANZAC (Australian and New Zealand Army Corps) troops were landed on the wrong beach. Despite heavy losses they managed to hold their own, but were unable to make any headway during the entire eight-month campaign. This is considered the foundation for the ANZAC legend and is commemorated as ANZAC day today in memory of those who have fought and died to protect their way of life.
