World War I: Gallipoli Campaign 3/4

By Christmas 1914, the bloody impasse in the trench lines on the Western Front saw Lord Kitchener looking elsewhere for victory. In an attempt to seize control of strategic Turkey, a British Navel expedition advanced on the Dardanelles, and Allied troops landed at Gallipoliwith the aim of taking Constantinople. However, events did not go according to plan and after 37 weeks, soldiers were evacuated from the beaches.

“Those heroes that shed their blood and lost their lives... You are now lying in the soil of a friendly country. Therefore rest in peace. There is no difference between the Johnnies and the Mehmets to us where they lie side by side now here in this country of ours... you, the mothers, who sent their sons from faraway countries wipe away your tears; your sons are now lying in our bosom and are in peace. After having lost their lives on this land they have become our sons as well” -Atatürk

Who are you calling colonizers, if you Turkish you should leave the country as that was once a great Cristian city before the muslim hordes overrun it. Turkish murdered hundredds of thousands of Armanians, you are just as much a colonixer as anyone

@MrCharmingmanofwar There. A god-knows-who talking about how national feeling is not important... During that battle, Turkish "open-air museum" could not have stopped the Mighty Armada if not for their own patriacy.
