The major goal of the Gallipoli Campaign was to occupy the Ottoman-controlled Dardanelles Straits. If the Allies had the Straits, they would have a route to the Russian ports on the Black Sea and would be able to supply their isolated ally.
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 Gallipoli Campaign caused massive loss of lives for both the Allies and the Ottomans (about 130,000 men in total). The Ottoman's successful defense of their capital of Constantinople inspired the later founding of the Republic of Turkey.

the allies wanted to capture gallipoli so they could get supplies to the Russians
In WWI, the Gallipoli Campaign was an effort by the Allied forces to capture the Dardanelles from the Ottoman Empire who were allies of Germany. Australians and New Zealanders were part of a large British force that landed on the Gallipoli peninsula in 1915. It was a disastrous campaign, and over 10,000 men were killed in this conflict. It has been argued that the forces landed at the wrong site, making it difficult to get supplies or reinforces to the troops.
