The Gallipoli Campaign, initiated in 1915 during World War I, aimed to open a new front by securing the Dardanelles Strait in order to facilitate a sea route to Russia and to weaken the Ottoman Empire. The naval attack launched by British and French forces was designed to neutralize Turkish artillery defenses and enable Allied troop landings. However, on March 18, 1915, the operation faced unforeseen challenges as the Ottoman forces, equipped with artillery and fortified positions along the coastline, mounted a robust defense. Key to the defense was the Turkish commander, Mustafa Kemal, who played a pivotal role in coordinating the counterattack. As the Allied fleet approached, they encountered mines laid in the strait and experienced heavy gunfire from Turkish shore installations. Unfortunately, the British battleships HMS Irresistible and HMS Ocean, alongside the French battleship Bouvet, were lost after sustaining significant damage. The sinking of these vessels not only represented a severe blow to the naval strength of the Allies but also changed the dynamics of the campaign. The ill-fated decision to launch a direct naval assault without adequately overcoming the coastal defenses became a critical lesson in military strategy and logistics. Following the failed naval attack, the campaign transitioned to a land offensive that would see substantial troop deployments in the following months. The events that unfolded marked a turning point in World War I, demonstrating the strength of Ottoman resilience and leading to a prolonged and costly stalemate on the Gallipoli Peninsula for the Allies.
