The Battle in Brief

When Turkey entered the First World War on the side of Germany, the Allies hoped to penetrate the Dardanelles by sea, capture the capital of Istanbul, and thus keep open the supply routes to Russia through the Black Sea. When this proved impossible, the Australian 1st Division and the New Zealand and Australian Division were deployed as part of an Allied invasion of the Gallipoli Peninsula.
