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".
The Allied powers took heavy losses on the Gallipoli Peninsula during WWI.

It depends on your destination, as Baja is a peninsula 1,250 Kilometers (775 miles) long. From LA to Tijuana on the US-Mexico border, it will take you approximately 2 hours to reach your destination. If you are trying to reach Los Cabos, on the southern tip of the peninsula, it will take you some 22 hours over a non-stop drive.

He didn't try to take over the Arabian Peninsula because it was too desolate. With no motor cars hey didn't have a use for mineral oil in those days.

The Bahamas is approximately 323 miles away from Turks and Caicos. A flight would take about an hour to complete on a commercial airline.
There is proof of the Armenian Genocide because of the survivors that are recorded on tape. Anyone who denies it being a Genocide is stupid, it was a Genocide. Turks deny it and are making threats to the US to not take action or call it a Genocide.. We are allies with the Turks... There are still things to prove it to be true. Just as the holocaust was denied, even though they tried to cover it up.. Genocide, causes people to deny because they don't want to lose there respect. Our Governors or now Governing for the Turks. they are getting payed millions of dollars.
