Australians fought at Gallipoli during World War I as part of the Allied campaign to secure control of the Dardanelles and open a sea route to Russia. The campaign aimed to weaken the Ottoman Empire and boost morale among the Allies. The ANZACs (Australian and New Zealand Army Corps) landed on April 25, 1915, facing fierce resistance and harsh conditions, which ultimately resulted in heavy casualties and a retreat by the Allies. The Gallipoli campaign has since become a significant event in Australian national history, symbolizing bravery and sacrifice.
