Battle of Gallipoli

The Battle of Gallipoli affected World War I because of the high number of deaths and because the plan failed. Had it succeeded, the war might have ended sooner and saved more lives from impending death in battle. In 1911 Winston Churchill became the First Lord of the Admiralty. He began to prepare Britain of war and developed one if the earliest tanks. Churchill was the one who proposed the military campaign of Gallipoli hopping that that way they could take the Turkish out of the war, and also to encourage the Balkan states to join the Allies in the war. However, this campaign failed. This failure caused the demotion of Winston Churchill as well as the collapse of Prime Minister H. H. Asquith’s government. (To the right is a picture of Churchill.)
