gallipoli

The kind of error made by Churchill and the French at Gallipoli will be made again.

Just a point of fact: Gallipoli is far from the Caucasus (indeed, Greece is just as close to the Caucasus).

Mustafa Kemal Atatürk was the commander at Gallipoli and later founder of the Turkish republic.

But Gallipoli (the topic) was a loss where the Brits used colonists as cannon fodder.

It is the story of an Australian father looking for his 3 sons killed during the Gallipoli Campaign in Turkey in 1915.

But that just proves the point that Gallipoli has become our national myth.

It coincides with our attack on Turkey at Gallipoli (now Gelibolu) in 1915.

I can't imagine that your average American was so knowledgeable of Gallipoli that none was required.

William George Murray came home from WWI, during that time In a letter to his parents, Murray described his participation in the battles at Gallipoli during August 1915.

Missing Gallipoli (Peter Weir - 1981) I went to Uni with a mature age guy who was one of the extras for the army.

As a specific example, William Churchill's leadership of the British Admiralty during the Gallipoli Campaign[2] in World War 2 was - in my view - completely immoral (as well as terrible ineffective).

What I like about Gallipoli is how these days it serves as a national memorial for three nations - Australia, New Zealand, and Turkey - and how forgiving the Turkish are and were of people who had come as invaders.

I don't think that it's ironic that Gallipoli and WW1 in general is what led to Australia and New Zealand starting to view themselves as distinct from the "Home Country" - our experiences in WW1 made it very clear that England didn't consider us colonials to be English, even if we still did at the time.

Gallipoli was hugely influential in defining how New Zealanders and Australians thought of themselves and their nation.

Churchill was the former with respect to Gallipoli; his actual plan was simply not followed.

Gallipoli is a good movie that touches on this complex subject.
