The loss at Gallipoli was devastating for the Allies due to significant military and strategic failures, resulting in heavy casualties and a prolonged stalemate. The campaign aimed to secure a sea route to Russia and open a new front against the Central Powers, but mismanagement, poor planning, and underestimation of enemy defenses led to a costly defeat. This failure not only diminished Allied morale but also allowed the Central Powers to strengthen their positions, ultimately prolonging World War I. The Gallipoli campaign is often remembered as a symbol of the tragic human cost of war and the difficulties of amphibious operations.
