The peninsula holds historical significance due to its importance in various military campaigns throughout history.

Turkey controlled the Dardanelles
The allied forces were trying to take the Gallipoli peninsula because it over looked the Dardanelles. The plan was to take the Gallipoli peninsula so the Allied forces could take the capital, Instanbul (now Constantinople). The only way to get to the capital was through the Dardanelles, which was heavily guarded by Turkish guns. So if the Allies could take Gallipoli, they could invade the capital. Then, along with Russia, they could attck Germany thorugh "the backdoor".
The Dardanelles were known as the Hellespont.
