Gallipoli refers to the Allied military campaign during World War I that took place on the Gallipoli Peninsula in present-day Turkey. The campaign began in April 1915 and lasted until January 1916, resulting in heavy casualties for both the Allies, primarily British troops, and the Ottoman Empire. The Gallipoli campaign is often remembered for its failure to achieve its objectives, the challenging terrain and harsh conditions faced by the soldiers, and the heroic efforts of the ANZAC (Australian and New Zealand Army Corps) troops who fought there. The campaign is seen as a significant event in the history of World War I and has had lasting cultural and national significance for Australia and New Zealand.
