Britain decided to attack the Gallipoli Peninsula during World War I primarily to secure a sea route to Russia and open a new front against the Central Powers. The aim was to capture the Dardanelles Strait, which would allow Allied forces to reach the Ottoman Empire's capital, Constantinople, and potentially knock the Ottomans out of the war. Additionally, a successful campaign could rally support from the Balkans and bolster morale among the Allies. However, the campaign ultimately ended in failure and heavy casualties.
