During the First World War, Gallipoli, located in modern-day Turkey, was the site of a major military campaign fought between 1915 and 1916. The campaign, also known as the Gallipoli Campaign or the Dardanelles Campaign, was a costly failure for the Allied forces, resulting in heavy casualties and ultimately leading to a stalemate.
