The Battle of Gallipoli, known as Çanakkale in Turkey, was a pivotal World War I conflict where Allied forces aimed to attack the Ottoman Empire from February 19, 1915. The Allied naval campaign faced difficulties, including effective Ottoman defenses and unsuitable landing terrains.

British Admiral Carden's operations included the destruction of key forts and minesweeping efforts, which proved ineffective due to inexperience and poor conditions. The Allied retreat was executed through a successful deception strategy, allowing for evacuation without casualties, marking a stark contrast to the initial disastrous landings.
