The battle of Gallipoli was a front line between the Allied forces and the Ottomans in WW 1 which commenced in April 25, 1915, ended in January 9, 1916 and caused the casualties of more than 300.000 soldiers including the dead of both the Ottoman and Allied forces [British, French, Australian, New Zealand and British colonies].

The reason was that the Allied forces estimated that could invade and conquer the Ottoman Empire capital city of Constantinople [Istanbul currently] and secure a sea route to Russia.

To ensure a Black Sea root to Russia, which was otherwise cut off from the other Entente powers. The Ottoman Empire that controlled the area was one of the Central powers and wouldn't have let the Allies use the Dardanelles Straits to get to Russia without a fight.

There was a war at Gallipoli because the British wanted the strait on the other side of the Gallipoli peninsular so after the British tried a sea attack (this FAILED) so the British ordered the A.N.Z.A.C to try and seize the strait by land.

Galipoli was because the British wanted to knock Turkey out of the war by hitting there capitol city. But Brits are Brits so they used our diggers as a distraction to make there landing on there beach easier. But the British captains landed the Anzac's at the wrong spot putting them up against even stronger opposition then expected. But they were still able to do such a good job that when the British did decide to land, they sat on the beach drinking tea while our men died.
