Best Answer

The Ottoman Turks considered themselves to be fighting for their country and religion, very powerful motivators. As far as the Allies, Britain didn't supply the soldiers with sufficient munitions, the senior officers on the campaign were inadequate, and the allied troops inexperience in offensive warfare.

Why were the Allies trying to take the peninsula from the Turks?

The allied forces were trying to take the Gallipoli peninsula because it over looked the Dardanelles. The plan was to take the Gallipoli peninsula so the Allied forces could take the capital, Instanbul (now Constantinople). The only way to get to the capital was through the Dardanelles, which was heavily guarded by Turkish guns. So if the Allies could take Gallipoli, they could invade the capital. Then, along with Russia, they could attck Germany thorugh "the backdoor".
