it hurt them

No, the movie was not an accurate portrayal of the events that happened in Gallipoli but rather a portrayal of the values and morals of the soldiers that fought in Gaillipoli.

The tactic or strategy behind the Gallipoli campaign is in two parts. One, the British wanted to capture the Ottoman Empire's capital, and two, they wanted to secure their trading route with Russia.

The Gallipoli landing occurred soon after the onset of World War I.

Aproximatly 43,785,394 Soldiers were taken prisoner by the japanese.

The battle at Gallipoli was one of the defining points of Australian (and also New Zealand) military history. World War 1 was the first major war that Australia fought as an independent country and not a British colony. It wanted to prove itself as a strong and worthwhile ally and a nation of brave fighters. On April 25, 1915, thousands of ANZAC soldiers marched into immortality on the shores of Gallipoli. They had landed in the wrong place, turning the ill-fated attack from a failure of strategy into a bloodbath. Many died before they even reached the beach. Despite the massacre the troops marched bravely forwards and continued to fight. Countless young men were killed. Soon they were locked into trench warfare which lasted for months. Conditions were among the worst endured during World War 1. The ground was littered with rotting bodies and it was too unsafe to dispose of them. The trenches were full of knee-deep mud consisting largely of human feces. Flies, rats and lice were rampant. During this period of unimaginable hardship and squalor, the ANZACS kept their spirit and held their ground. Thousands of the bravest men the ANZACS ever knew died for a few metres of territory. The youngest of them was just fourteen (he had lied about his age to enlist) and became something of a legend. However perhaps the best known ANZAC was John Simpson Kirkpatrick. He enlisted as John Simpson but was known to most as Jack, or simply 'the man with the donkey'. Sent to Gallipoli as a stretcher bearer, he rescued several abandoned donkeys and used them to transport wounded men from the trenches down Shrapnel Gully (a treacherous slope lined with snipers) to a hospital station on the beach. Now only one man was needed to transport a wounded troop, instead of four stretcher bearers. He continued his work even when there were so many snipers that ambulance men were ordered not to go out. Less than a month after arriving, he was shot in the back by a Turkish sniper. He was just 21. Simpson was buried at Hell Spit with a simple wooden cross to mark his grave. After the armistice, his grave was located and marked with a granite slab. The inscription on his headstone reads He gave his life that others may live. This embodies the spirit of the ANZACS, the spirit that refused to be broken and still survives today. On April 25th every year, Australians and New Zealanders line the streets to remember the fallen, not just from Gallipoli but from all wars in our histories. This is ANZAC Day, a major public holiday. Lest We Forget.

Limited medical care would be given on the Gallipoli Peninsula and medical cases were evacuated for further treatment to Hospital ships moored off Anzac Cove. The dead were buried on the peninsula; their bodies were commonly unearthed and blown apart by artillery shells.

It will remain an unknown, but it is always fun to play the guessing game. Here are a few possibilities: * Istanbul would have fallen. * The sea lanes to Russia would have opened and resupply could be accomplished. * The Russian Revolution would have never happened. The Soviet Union would have never existed. * Germany would have lost WWI two years earlier. * The US would never have entered WWI. * Kemal Attaturk would not have risen to power and the Turkish Republic would not exist. * Hitler would not have gained favor. * WWII in Europe would not have happened. * WWII in Asia might never have happened. * Singapore would never have fallen. * Nuclear weapons might never have been needed. * Chernobyl and Three Mile Island would have never happend. * Vietnam would still be a French Colony. * Korea and the Vietnam war would have never happened. * China might have never become a Communist State. * The Cuban Missle Crisis might never have happened. * The Cold War would never have happened. * Gasoline might still be 50 cents a gallon. Darned Anzacs.

1,000,000 horses were used in WW1 but sadly over 256,000 were killed.

8709 Australians and 2701 New Zealanders died in the battle at Gallipoli.

17924 Australians and 4852 New Zealanders were wounded in the battle at Gallipoli.

Thats a total of 26, 663 Australian casualties,

A total of 7553 New Zealand casualties.

A grand total of 34, 216 Anzac casualties.

Gallipoli was, on the whole, a flop. None of its military aims were accomplished, hundreds of thousands of lives were wasted, Bulgaria sided with Germany after Britain's failure and Russia could not get the support it needed so badly, leaving it to descend into revolution. However, there were some unintentional benefits, that were not part of the original plan, but happened by accident. The evacuation was one of the greatest successes in the war, as all the remaining troops were shipped out without the Turks knowing; the Turks were now weakened enough for Britain to take over the Ottoman Empire after the war; Britsh submarines managed to get past the dense minefields in the Dardanelles, destroying most of the Turkish fleet and the campaign diverted the Turks from the Middle East, letting Col. Lawrence win the war in Arabia. It also served as an experiment, and the idea of the landings was later perfected for the D-Day landings and for the Falkland War. Gallipoli pointed out how landings should not be done, so it was only a small matter of revising the plan for it to have successes later on.

America remained isolated during World War 2 for about two and a half years. They began having a bad relationship with Japan. All of a sudden on a bright morning on December, 7, 1941, planes begin crashing into Pearl Harbor(Hawaii). These were kamikazes-Japanese suicide pilots, who carried the plans out. Then on December 8, 1941, Congress declared war on Japan. The U.S. has officially entered World War 2 dealing with the conflict in Europe and Asia.

It is important because its where they had war and many people lost their lives in Gallipoli

God Knows!:)

The beach upon which the ANZAC troops landed on 25 April 1915 is now called Anzac Cove, but its original name was Ari Birun.

A telegram intercepted by British Intelligence that had said that if Mexico were to attack American soil then Mexico would then gain, and more so, whatever land they had lost due to the annexation by the U.S. government. However, the United States had intended to remain neutral and did so until the sinking of 7 U.S. merchant ships and the public publication of the telegram.

"It has proven to be very difficult to determine the losses of both sides in this most appalling and costly theatre: perhaps the most realistic estimates are that the Turkish army suffered 300,000 casualties (including the many sick) and the Allies, 265,000. The consequent effect of diverting troops and supplies sorely needed on the Western Front, particularly for the assault at Loos, is impossible to quantify."

The main goal of the Gallipoli campaign was to gain control over the Gallipoli peninsula. This neck of land overlooked the most direct sea route to Russia and was strategically important in World War I.

Th Gallipoli campaign had no overall commander - this is one of the reasons that it failed. The first, naval, attack up the Dardanelles straight was to be lead by Admiral Carden, but he soon resigned for Admiral de Robeck to assume command. De Robeck soon lead a great naval attack up the Dardanelles straight, but he lost three ships to hidden Turkish sea mines, and abandoned his assault. At this point, with great pressure from all directions wanting different types of attacks, repeats and withdrawals, Lord Hamilton, commander of the Mediterranean Expeditionary Force, convinced de Robeck that the best option was a military landing on the Gallipoli peninsula.

From here, the attack was lead mainly by Hamilton, but still, there was no overall commander in chief - the navy had its leaders, the army had its own, but noone had the bigger picture.

Throughout, however, possibly the closest thing to a commander that the operation had was Winston Churchill himself, who first convinced the war Council to allow it, and throughout, put pressure on each leader (from Britain) to follow the assault as he wished. However, he wielded no true, official, and clear power over the men in the Mediterranean, and thus he was not a true commander. However, for his part, he still took much of the blame for the failure of the compaign at the time, but was later acquited.

I hope that answers your question - NOONE truly commanded the Gallipoli campaign.

The unsuccessful campaign in World War I (1915) by the English and French to open a passage for aid to Russia; defeated by the Turks. (Credit to WordWeb) From the other side: Of course, Germany wanted to prevent supplies reaching Russia via the Dardanelles. And to the Turks, it was their territory, and they were being invaded!
