The Dardanelles were crucial during World War I as they provided a strategic maritime route connecting the Aegean Sea to the Sea of Marmara, facilitating access to the Ottoman Empire. Control of this passage was vital for the Allies to supply Russia and to potentially open a new front against the Central Powers. The ill-fated Gallipoli Campaign aimed to secure the Dardanelles but resulted in significant Allied losses and highlighted the challenges of amphibious warfare. Ultimately, the campaign's failure reinforced Ottoman resistance and affected the overall dynamics of the war.
