Best Answer

Australia and New Zealand were part of the British Commonwealth, which was one of the Allies in World War I. The Ottoman Empire was one of the Central Powers. Those facts naturally brought the ANZACs into conflict with Turks. The ANZACs were specifically sent to the Turkish front in Gallipoli so that British soldiers could focus on the Western Front which was closer to London and made maintenance much easier. Giving the command of the Turkish front over to foreign regiments was much easier to justify.

How did the Turks win at gallipoli?

Uhm...I think by fighting back real hard... It wasn't only the Turkish soldiers that won, everyon Turk that wanted to fight for his/her country did. That's how they won at gallipolli. Probably couldn't have done it if it weren't for Mustafa Kemal Atatürk, who led the fight of the Turks against various European armies.


How did the evacuation from Gallipoli differ from the initial landing?

The evacuation from Gallipoli was carried out in complete secret, and the Turkish soldiers had absolutely no idea that the ANZACs had departed. This was quite different to the landing, when the Turks knew the ANZACs were coming, and were ready for them.
