dardanelles

Such mingling happens at the Dardanelles - but it's half a mile or so wide, and ~180 feet deep.

Try doing that in the Aegean not to mention the Sea of Marmara / Dardanelles and lets see how that works out.

Given that, the idea was to use them to try and open up the Dardanelles because they were essentially zero cost to lose.

He had the bright idea to force the Dardanelles by landing at Gallipoli.

Compressing the carbon dioxide sufficiently probably requires the accurately cylindrical bores produced for the first time for things like the Dardanelles Gun (15th century).

Am I the only one disappointed this wasn't about someone refurbishing the Dardanelles Gun?

The UN/Turkey can close the Dardanelles to Russian ships.

Warm water ports in the Black sea are severely restricted ( in military use) by the Montreux convention regulating the use of the Bosporus and Dardanelles straits.

The level of the Black Sea is determined by the water flowing in from the Mediterranean through the Dardanelles and the Bosporus which replaces the evaporated water.

Absolutely right, it is Dardanelles and not Bosporus.

My grandfather's niece died in the bombing of Dardanelles in WW1, people still talk about how they could only find a bunch of blonde hair, that was all that remained of her in the rubble.

Apart from that, the Dardanelles are 1.2km wide at the narrow point, the Gulf of Finland is 70km wide - blocking that is essentially impossible unless you go for a naval blockade and attack civilian ships.

The origin of the term "Asia" is from ancient Greece, and meant anything to the east of the Dardanelles Strait.

My reading suggests that about everything out "that way" was often referred to Babylon, much as later (and still!) everything from the Dardanelles east was "Asia", even though Asia strictly included only what is now westernmost and extreme northern Turkey.

For those interested in why there was fighting in the Dardanelles, read Guns of August by Barbera Tuchman.

The Bosphorus and Dardanelles, between the Black Sea and the Aegean/Mediterranean, are quite a lot like a river.

Does anyone know why it connects Sütlüce to Lapseke rather than Kilitbahir to Çanakkale further southwest along the Dardanelles?
