Two world wars, we are most familiar with the Second World War, because the scale of the Second World War is larger, almost all the countries of the world are involved in it, and World War II also appeared a lot of classic battles, such as the Battle of Stalingrad, the Normandy Landing Campaign, the Pacific Campaign, etc., and the Normandy Landing Campaign was given the most meaningful landing operation in modern times, in fact, the Normandy Landing Campaign is not the most meaningful campaign in modern times. The Battle of Gallipoli in World War I was the first landing operation of modern significance, which caused heavy casualties to Britain and France, because it was an alliance operation, so it was a very big problem in command, which led to the final defeat of the battle.
This battle began with a naval operation of the British-French Alliance, with the purpose of forcibly breaking into the Dardanelles Strait, and then occupying the Ottoman capital Constantinople, in this landing battle, the Allies had half a million soldiers cross the ocean to the Gallipoli Peninsula, after nearly eleven months of fighting, leaving about 300,000 people dead, more than 200,000 wounded, the outcome was very tragic, this adventurous military operation, is the result of sloppy planning and wrong judgment, so, in the history of the enemy landing, The purpose of this landing campaign was to control the Dardanelles and the Bosphorus Strait in the First World War, to occupy the Turkish capital Constantinople, and to force Turkey to withdraw from the war on the German side.
The British and French attempted to occupy two straits of great strategic importance before Russia, and Winston Churchill, as we know him, was the Minister of the Navy at the time, and he was the initiator of the campaign, but he did not proceed from reality, because from the beginning of the campaign he vainly advocated the attack on Gallipoli, and he wanted to capture Dardanelle, not only because it was a limited military target, but also because it was the only passage to the Russian Black Sea port, and it would facilitate communication with the British Eastern Allies, so he rushed forward , did not pay attention to strategy at all, resulting in the loss of a lot of battleships.
Although the loss of warships in the landing campaign is a sad thing, both in terms of economic value and the combat effectiveness of the troops is a heavy loss, the mines caused the British to lose six battleships, Drobeck had to let all the surviving ships return to the Aegean Sea, where do the British know that at this time, the Turkish army, the shells have been consumed in half, the mines have been used up, the attack should pay attention to continuity, and should be insisted on when the "apex" of the attack comes, this is a problem of "narrow road to meet the brave to win", but the British, However, the French postponed the attack at a critical moment, and the reason for the postponement of the attack was the British decision to abandon the plan of using the navy exclusively and carry out the joint army-navy campaign.
In the end, because the British and French armies lost the best time to attack, they did not know that grasping the fighter plane was very crucial to winning the battle, and this kind of underprepared landing was indeed rare in history; Sun Tzu's art of war said that "knowing oneself and knowing the other, winning every battle and winning every battle", while Hamilton's degree of "knowing oneself" was really pitiful, this was already in the place of defeat, and the lack of command was the fatal weakness of the landing campaign, because Britain and France only listened to their respective armies, so it was very difficult for them to unite.
