Hambo Posted 19 November , 2004 Share Posted 19 November , 2004 What were the main reasons for the Gallipoli campaign and was helping Russia the most important factor? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andigger Posted 19 November , 2004 Share Posted 19 November , 2004 Wow... this is a pretty broad questio. I would consider reading Gallipoli by Alan Moorehead. I thought it was a well written and easily read. It might not be definitive, but I think it may answer a lot of the questions you have at this point.

Auimfo Posted 20 November , 2004 Share Posted 20 November , 2004 Phew, now there's a question. I'm with Andy. Moorehead is a good source to start with but there are plenty of other references which delve into this answer. To address part of your question. Yes, assistance to Russia was undoubtably a major factor - but THE main one....now that's a topic for debate. Tim L. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhilB Posted 20 November , 2004 Share Posted 20 November , 2004 In a sentence - get the Royal Navy off Istanbul, threaten to bombard, get Turkey to capitulate, one prop knocked away. Now read Moorhead! Phil B Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
