Which part of the world were ANZAC soldiers sent to fight for?
During World War 1 the ANZACs were sent to three different locations. 1. The Western Front 2. Gallipoli 3. The Middle East "The Western Front was the name the Germans gave to a series of trenches that ran 700 kilometres from the Belgian coast to the Swiss border." - 'Don't forget me, cobber!' by Matt Anderson The Gallipoli Campaign was an attempt to capture the capital of the Ottoman Empire (Turkey), Istanbul. It was also to make a sea route to Russia. But the plan failed. ANZACs were sent to the Middle East and Jerusalem to free it from the hold of the Turks and Muslims. The 800 light horsemen were a famous battalion of troops who played a role in the war in the Middle East.
Which nation did the anzacs fight at gallipoli?
Your question is confused. ANZAC troops defintely saw action against the Ottoman Empire in the east at places like Gallipolli, but the term, the Eastern Front, refers to the War in the East in EUROPE, against the Russians by the Germans up til the Russian revolution & surrender in 1917. So, to conclude, ANZAC troops definitely saw action in the East, but NOT on the Eastern front. Hope this clears up your question.

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.
