Why was Australia sent to fight in gallipoli?

Australia was sent to fight at Gallipoli during World War I as part of the Allied campaign to secure a sea route to Russia and to capture the Ottoman capital of Constantinople. The operation aimed to open a new front against the Central Powers and relieve pressure on the Eastern and Western Fronts. As a member of the British Empire, Australia was committed to supporting Britain and its allies, and the Gallipoli campaign was seen as a way to demonstrate this loyalty and contribute to the war effort. The campaign ultimately resulted in heavy losses and is remembered as a significant event in Australian military history.
