Map Volume II with 6 maps and appendices (1932). The Gallipoli Campaign aimed to secure a sea route to Russia and its warm-water ports and weaken the Ottoman Empire. But meeting stiff Turkish resistance, led by the future founding father of Turkey, Mustafa Kemal Atatürk, it ultimately resulted in a costly stalemate and with heavy casualties for the Allies. However, the campaign also fostered national identities in Australia and New Zealand, marking a pivotal moment in their histories and establishing April 25 as ANZAC Day as a world-wide day of remembrance for their military sacrifices. Here is a complete sub-group on the Gallipoli campaign from the official British Government’s monumental, 109-volume history of The Great War. This outstanding series documented Britian’s military, naval, and medical efforts during the First World War.
