Through the colonial war, Britain embarked on the rapid accumulation of capital, and took advantage of the great achievements brought by the Industrial Revolution to become the global "boss" at that time. The British at the time basically ignored other countries, believing that other countries could not get on the table at all. In particular, the ancient dynasties of the past were also the objects of hand-to-hand and humiliation in the eyes of the British.
The Ottoman Empire, which had posed a threat to Europe many times, was not only looked down upon by Britain, a rising star, but also regarded as a "sick man of West Asia" who could be bullied at will. But why was it that this "sick man of West Asia", a country that was bullied by the British at will, was able to snipe the British for 11 months in the war, even if the British dispatched 14 divisions and regiments of troops, they could only return empty-handed?
Speaking of the feud between Britain and the Ottoman Empire, it has to be said that the Ottoman Empire was humiliated. Although the Ottomans at the time were also extremely powerful, the country's decline in power in the 17th century was no longer enough for Europeans to sleep.
When the Ottoman Empire was in full swing, Spain, which was also in the limelight, pulled other European countries into a navy to fight the rampant Ottoman Empire. Although the Ottomans organized a more powerful navy, they were destroyed by the European coalition forces, causing the Ottoman Empire to miss the opportunity to enter Europe. Thereafter, the Ottoman Empire began a mode of defeat in the Wars of Europe.
And the United Kingdom, which inherited the title of Spain and became another empire that never fell, believed that the Ottomans were a paper tiger, and they had to harass and blackmail the Ottomans when there was nothing to do.
In the 20th century, after the reform of the Ottoman Empire, in order to restore the power of the sea, warships were customized to Britain. At that time, the British showed no mercy and almost sucked up the funds of the Ottoman Empire. After several years of waiting, the Ottoman Empire could not have imagined that the British would swallow these warships directly in the name of regional security, tear up the contract and no longer deliver it to the Ottoman Empire.
Such an encounter greatly hurt the Ottoman self-esteem, completely hated the British, and coupled with the German co-optation, the Ottoman Empire and the British went against each other.
The United Kingdom is not happy to see such a scene, is this not obviously going to fight with itself? In addition, in order to save russia as an ally, several countries of the British United Entente sent a large number of troops to attack the Gallipoli Peninsula of the Ottoman Empire, hoping to control the nearby straits, gain control of access to the Black Sea, and also threaten the capital of the Ottoman Empire.
The Ottoman Empire itself was full of hatred for the British, and for the British to attack themselves, it can be said that new hatred and old hatred broke out together, launching a deadly attack on the British. After the British allied landing on the Gallipoli Peninsula, the Ottomans who were ambushed high up in the air took up machine guns and made a surprise attack.
Although the Combat Ability of ottoman Soldiers was not very good, under the blessing of enmity, the Ottomans had super combat power against the British. Moreover, for the Ottomans, the defeat of the war meant the loss of the capital, and in order to prevent the British from reinforcing Tsarist Russia, the Ottomans fought a bloody battle with the British coalition on the Gallipoli Peninsula and sniped at the British army for 11 months.
Because the British had to guard the colonies and sea routes everywhere, they could not send more troops to reinforce the Gallipoli Peninsula, and eventually they could only lose in front of the Ottomans who were fighting for their lives.
