Q

Why did the Gallipoli Campaign happen?

A

The Western Front, in France and Belgium, had effectively become blocked. A new front was desperately needed (through the eastern front) for Britain to defeat Germany. Also, Britain hoped that an attack on the Ottomans (Turkey) would draw Bulgaria and Greece into the war on their side. Turkey would be defeated and Austria Hungary would be threatened. The Allies would be able to send supplies to Russia through the Dardanelles.
