These battles were part of a naval and land operation conducted by British, French, Australian, New Zealand and other Allied forces against the Ottoman Empire. The main objective of the Gallipoli Wars was for the Allied Powers to capture the capital of the Ottoman Empire, Istanbul, gain control over the Straits and provide aid to Russia. However, the Ottoman forces showed a determined defense along the Straits, stopping the advance of the Allied forces. The Gallipoli Wars are divided into two main parts: naval battles and land battles: 1. Naval Battles: On March 18, 1915, the British and French navies attempted to cross the Dardanelles but came under heavy fire from Ottoman artillery. This conflict resulted in great losses for the British and French navies. This naval battle caused even modern warships such as HMS Queen Elizabeth to be damaged and to retreat. 2. Land Battles: The Allied landings on the Gallipoli Peninsula began on April 25, 1915. The Australian and New Zealand Anzac Corps also participated in these landings. However, the steep and rugged terrain of Gallipoli was advantageous in terms of defense and the Ottoman soldiers put up a fierce resistance. Both the Anzacs and the British and French troops suffered heavy losses and could not advance. The land battles were the scene of bloody and fierce fighting and trench warfare was intense between the sides. Our epic heroes emerged in the Gallipoli Wars, great names were born for the first time in this war, while Cevat Çobanlı Pasha was remembered as the hero of March 18, the mines laid by the Nusret Mine Ship and Captain Hakkı Kaptan and Corporal Seyit, who carried the 215-pound cannon, have their names written into history. Sergeant Mehmet from Biga fought the enemy as if shielding him, and Lieutenant Hasan was martyred before he could see his newborn daughter. Lieutenant Colonel Mustafa Kemal (Atatürk) stopped the Anzacs with his foresight by saying, "I do not order you to attack, but to die." Sergeant Yahya from Ezine and his friends drove the enemy into the sea, Esat Pasha and his brother Vehip Pasha made the Gallipoli Peninsula narrow for the enemy. The enemy was defeated on the Seddülbahir front, the Arıburnu front and the Anafartalar front. The enemy units were repelled in Kirte, Zığındere, Kerevizdere, Conk Bayırı and the Anafartalar plain. Names such as Halil Sami Bey and Selahattin Adil Bey fulfilled their command duties, and he was martyred together with Lieutenant Colonel Hüseyin Avni Bey, the commander of the 57th Infantry Regiment. These were only a few of the events we have mentioned. The Battle of Gallipoli is considered a significant turning point in history. The Ottoman Empire's victory at Gallipoli disrupted the plans of the Allied Powers and changed the strategic balance. At the end of the war, the Allied forces were forced to retreat and the Ottoman Empire retained control of the Dardanelles. This war also played an important role in the formation of Turkish national identity and inspired the Turkish nation's struggle for independence. 00:00 Beginning 01:02 Intro 02:30 Importance of Çanakkale 04:37 Importance of Çanakkale in Ottoman History 06:38 Tripoli War 1911 07:41 Balkan Wars 1912 - 1913 13:13 Before the First World War 14:50 First World War Blockade 19:11 Ottoman Empire Towards the World War 30:18 Ottoman Empire Joins the World War 44:23 Towards the Çanakkale War 46:35 February 19, 1915 Çanakkale Naval Battle Begins 1:01:16 Enemy Navy Attacks the Strait 1:21:33 March 18, 1915 Çanakkale Naval Battle 1:28:30 End of the Naval Battle
