Why did one of the most ambitious Allied operations of World War I end in disaster? In this episode, we explore the Gallipoli Campaign of 1915, where British, French, Australian, and New Zealand forces attempted to seize control of the Dardanelles and knock the Ottoman Empire out of the war. Instead, the campaign became a costly failure that reshaped military strategy, altered political careers, and changed the course of World War I.

Discover the strategic mistakes, logistical challenges, fierce Ottoman resistance, and leadership decisions that turned Gallipoli into one of the most significant defeats of the war. We also examine the lasting legacy of the campaign and why it remains a defining moment in the histories of Turkey, Australia, New Zealand, and Britain.
