Gallipoli 1915 | History of Warfare | Full Documentary

In a war infamous for its military disasters, there were few greater debacles than Gallipoli. Ill-conceived, poorly-planned and dogged by misfortune, the offensive which was supposed to knock Turkey out of the Great War soon subsided into a bloody stalemate. As a result places such as Anzac Cove and Suvla Bay are written large in military folklore.

My Great Grandmas bro was killed up Chunuk Bair fighting with the Auckland Infantry. He is still there

[@charlesmorton7944]

As a pretty older person, I am proud to say that my dad served at Gallipoli with the 1/8th Manchester Regiment, part of the 42nd (East Lancashire) Division , the first Territorial Division to go overseas in WW!

My grandfather fought at Gallipoli with the Buckinghamshire Yeomanry.

How old was your old man when you were born and what year was that?

[@karlgharst5420]

Kemmel and the Paschas were not Turks, rather Donmeh Jews...

[@user-tx9kr2wr1j]

My Grandfather fought there in The Royal Garrison Artillery.

[@Ommer95]

My grandfather was also there but in the Turkish trenches. We share a history bound by blood. He survived the war unlike the 87,000 Turks that gave up their lives against much great odds.

[@skippygatten8572]

I hate to be a stickler for history but in the thumbnail the men are wearing steal helmets and they weren't used until 1916 a year after Gallipoli.

It’s seems strange for an American even as a boy I’ve had a sadness for those extremely brave soldiers who were sacrificed for the folly of their idiot leaders RIP Brave Warriors

[@hissyhonker220]

And to think it took starting in 1917 an army of idiots, leaders and followers to end the war just for the original leaders to muck up the peace and bring the army of idiots back to end the second war 20 years later, God bless our idiots, who "don't retreat when they are supposed too" ... don't March right and have no discipline " and a few other negative quotes

Organised by New Zealand Brigadier, later General Sir Andrew Russell arguably New Zealand's finest general. Our other general, Freyberg, also fought at Gallipoli for the British Naval division, swimming ashore alone to create a diversion at the start of the landing.

Ive heard ANZAC cove was swept with machine gun, artillery, and rifle fire, all accurate, yet ive also heard that it was scattered snipers and sentries looking over ANZAC. Do we know?

[@HenriHattar]

You can see from some of the photographs that they were not REALLY beaches in some instances , but just a strp of sand below cliffs which came all the way forward, there was NO way in, exccept to climb the cliffs while under fire. Not all landings were like this, but these were the conditions under which they landed the Australians, expecting them to attack UP a cliff from first go! I am not sure if this is even mentioned in this vid, but you can see the photo's.

[@duckbizniz663]

Interesting documentary supporting the claims that British generals and high ranking officers made horrendous miscalculations in the Gallipoli Campaign of WWI. I had just seen an Australian documentary narrated by Hugh Dolan. According to that documentary there were no miscalculations. The Gallipoli Campaign was well thought out and planned with excellent intelligence. The landing at ANZAC Cove were planned out by high ranking Australian commanders. While the British landing at Helles Cape suffered far more casualties. The unsuccessful attack and eventual retreat by British Forces after 8 months of fighting was due to effective Ottoman resistance. Hugh Dolan proposed that British generals did not expect Turkish troops would offer so much resistance to a British invasion. The deciding factor was the determination of Ottoman soldiers who fought tenaciously because they were defending their own homeland of Turkey. I am not sure which documentary to believe. What is the truth? It seems there are many versions about the Gallipoli Campaign.

[@michaelrooks4030]

It was one of the biggest bulls up in ww1 ...

15:49 He is not Mustafa Kemal. Some war images also do not belong to this war. What is said may be true, but it does not match the visuals. For example, some videos of Turkish soldiers who are fighting are not from gallipoli war, they are from Turkish independence war (1919-1922)

Yet another great "triumph "of the British arms. It's hilarious how incompetence is consistently spun as something positive - The Charge of the Light Brigade, Gallipoli, Dunkirk, Anzio, Crete, Singapore, Operation Market Garden, the list goes on. Heroic defeats or just running away.

[@jonathansimmons5353]

Uk should have quit after dunkirk, accepted adolfs many offers, and kept the empire. In reality UK lost both wars. What's so bad about national socialism? If the worlds a shithole carnage today, is bcos the allies WON THE WAR

[@djpalindrome]

Churchill was a cold blooded murderer in one war and the savior of civilization in the next

[@anthonyeaton5153]

Both statements are wrong.

[@darkprofile]

British army lost in Gallipoli and in Saudi Arabia against Ottomans. But Britiain love to manipulate history always. Also in Palestine Sheikh Hussein organised a rebellion against Ottomans and passed to British side. Because of betrayal of arabs to Turks, Britain captured Palestine and Jerusalem. Betrayal of Arabs still remembered by Turks and Arabs are not considered as reliable allies for Turks except north africans. And gentleman fiight of brave Anzac soldiers are also remembered. And they are respectfully memorised every year in anniversary of Gallipoli war.

[@haydnj1202]

Three times as many brave Brits died fighting at Gallipoli as anzacs

65% of Australian troops were first generation Australians or born in the UK, and were volunteers, and not subject to the same military laws as the British army, i e execution.

[@geoffwrigley1494]

The withdrawal from Gallipoli was planned and Implemented by an Australian. Pity no recognition was given to the one successful operation in that whole battle was due to that fact. As usual the colonials get wiped from history.

[@user-tc2ie3db3z]

The man at 38 minutes is excluding the indigenous soldiers who fought just as hard and sometimes harder than the white soldiers. Those communities were oppressed and unappreciated by their governments and underestimated by the military, yet they enlisted and fought a war that they felt was important to them. So I don't believe the ANZACs just wanted to go explore and play cowboys and Indians. They felt a duty to something, whether country, brothers in arms, or freedom of man in general. But I guess this is dated documentary, more recent ones don't take the same attitude.
