The Gallipoli Campaign, which took place during World War I from 1915 to 1916, was an Allied operation aimed primarily at securing a sea route to Russia and capturing the Ottoman capital, Constantinople (modern-day Istanbul). The campaign involved British, Australian, New Zealand, and French forces attacking the Gallipoli Peninsula, hoping to open up a new front against the Central Powers. Ultimately, the Allies sought to weaken the Ottoman Empire and relieve pressure on the Eastern and Western Fronts. However, the campaign ended in a costly defeat for the Allies, with significant loss of life and little strategic gain.
