The Gallipoli campaign was one of the most disastrous military campaigns in British history. In April 1915, an Allied force of British, French, and Australian troops landed on the Gallipoli peninsula in an attempt to capture the Dardanelles Straits and open up a sea route to Russia. The campaign was a failure, and the Allies were forced to evacuate in December 1915. Over 100,000 Allied soldiers were killed or wounded in the campaign.
