Firstly the naval attack was a huge disaster. The Allied Forces ships sailed right into a minefield killing many men and sinking three ships (Bouvet,Irresistable and Ocean). The Turks were low on ammunition but instead of attacking the Allied ships withdrew fearing more casualties.
Then they had to resort to an amphibious assault. The entire operation went wrong. Instead of landing at a place near the mainland with easy beaches and no defenses, they ended up at the end on the cliffs where the Turks were dug in and able to fight.
Instead of minimal casalties from trapping the enemy on the tip of the peninsula and forcing them to surrender, they were massacred trying to get up steep cliffs through barbed wire and minefileds, while being shelled and machine-gunned.
