In order to help Russia. In the beginning of the war, the only way Russia's allies could send messages and supplies was through the Baltic Sea, which was dangerous due to the proximity of German ships. The Mediterranean to Black Sea route was far easier and would be simpler to defend. However, one of the Central Powers, the Ottoman Empire controlled the Dardanelles Straits, the only passage into the Black Sea from the Mediterranean. The Gallipoli Campaign was launched to take control of the straits.
