the Gallipoli peninsula
In 1915, during World War I, Allied forces invaded a small peninsula located in the Ottoman Empire and called Gallipoli. Located at the western tip of the Dardanelles Strait, the first narrow waterway allowing access to the Black Sea from the Mediterranean, Gallipoli was tenaciously defended by Ottoman (or, Turkish) defenders, who succeeded in blocking the Allied attempt to penetrate inland via their Gallipoli beachhead.
The Allied Forces, mainly composed of Australians, landed at Gallipoli in 1915.
The beach upon which the ANZAC troops landed on 25 April 1915 is now called Anzac Cove, but its original name was Ari Birun.
The ANZACs were supposed to land on Cape Tepe but ended up landing on what was later known as ANZAC Cove, two kilometres North of the intended landing place.

In WWI, the Gallipoli Campaign was an effort by the Allied forces to capture the Dardanelles from the Ottoman Empire who were allies of Germany. Australians and New Zealanders were part of a large British force that landed on the Gallipoli peninsula in 1915. It was a disastrous campaign, and over 10,000 men were killed in this conflict. It has been argued that the forces landed at the wrong site, making it difficult to get supplies or reinforces to the troops.
