You forgot about New Zealand, its role in the Gallipoli campaign, and its importance for New Zealand as a young country. The history and importance of this battle for all three countries (Turkey, Australia, and New Zealand) is fascinating. Turkey celebrates the WW1 battle of the Dardanelles campaign on the 18th of March, when Turkish forces, led by Mustafa Kemal, stopped the Allied naval invasion of Istanbul. This battle made Mustafa Kemal a hero, leading him to become a revolutionary leader, the founding father of Turkey's modern-day and secular Republic, and its first President. Mustafa Kemal was later given the surname 'Atatürk' by the Turkish Parliament, meaning "Father of the Turks." Stopping the naval invasion necessitated a land invasion by the Allies, which occurred over a month later, on the 25th of April. This is the day that both Australia and NZ celebrate national days of importance, ANZAC Day, as remembering those who have fought in wars and as the 'coming of age' for both countries. There is a large memorial on the battlefield, featuring a beautiful quote from Atatürk, dedicated to those who lost their lives, reading: "Those heroes that shed their blood and lost their lives... You are now lying in the soil of a friendly country. Therefore, rest in peace. There is no difference between the Johnnies and the Mehmets to us where they lie side by side here in this country of ours... You the mothers who sent their sons from far away countries wipe away your tears. Your sons are now lying in our bosom and are in peace. After having lost their lives on this land they have become our sons as well." Also of note is that Winston Churchill, the First Lord of the Admiralty at the time, was, at least in part, responsible for the terrible failure in tactics and leadership of the Gallipoli campaign. It could have/should have ended his career.

[@lonelywolf1480]

Well explained mate. And that naval victory date of 18th of March (03/18) is used to set the height of the bridge's towers. They are 318 meters in height.

[@jacktaggart2489]

Thank you, I'm not. Churchill was the big proponent for the invasion at Anzio during WW2 contrary to the counsel of all other military leaders. That unmitigated disaster cost 45,000 Allied casualties. Churchill simply 'windbagged' his way forth after that disaster, as well.

While the 1915 Canakkale Bridge is a marvel indeed, I see no major advancement in engineering. Consider it took 24 years to exceed the Akaski Kaikyo Bridge's mainspan by 32 meters, that is just 1.6%. The Akashi exceeded the previous record holder, that being the Humber Bridge, by 581 meters, or just over 40%! Also consider that the two towers of a suspension bridge are integral in holding up the side spans. The Akashi Kaikyo Bridge's three spans total 3,911 meters while the 1915 Canakkale Bridge's three spans are considerably shorter at 3,563 meters. The three span total of the Akashi Kaikyo Bridge is a 72% increase over the previous record holder, that of the Mackinac Bridge. The depth of the water at the tower foundations of the 1915 Canakkale Bridge are 37 & 45 meters, while the Akashi Kaikyo Bridge's are 67 & 70 meters. The Akashi Kaikyo has been tested via earthquake - having its mainspan lengthened by nearly a meter during the Great Hanshin Earthquake. The bridge was designed with a 1,990 meter span, but now has a 1,991 meter span. Also the Akashi Kaikyo has experienced typhoons with winds of 160 kph.

Greetings from Turkey and very thanks for the impressive video. There is also an anectod: 318 meter refers to 18. day of 3. month which is the Gallipoli Victory of 18 March 1915. 🇹🇷

Victory was later. March 18th was when it started.

As a Dutch person that loves making videos about infrastructure, I really wished there was such a bridge in the Netherlands!

Should have expected to see you here. Also as if the Dutch could resist just bringing the land closer together. :p

Building a giant bridge using the pinnacle of technology and international collaboration is the most positive symbolic thing humanity can do I think.

I am a Turkish resident, when my family visited Gökçeada (an island located in Çanakkale Province), we used the bridge to go from the asian side to the european side! It was a cool experience, floating above the water and looking between the 2 continents just between and admired.

[@troyano6548]

This is an awesome engineering feat !!

[@akifcomoglu1859]

l crossed this bridge on the way back from vacation. I had a hard time keeping my car on the road before the bridge. Canakkale is usually very windy. I entered the bridge with a strong wind warning. thanks to the panels on the bridge sides, I hardly felt any wind along the bridge. they did a great job. .

[@RowanMackenzie]

Fantastic video, really enjoyed the symbolism of the bridge

[@captaincusto5857]

Beautiful in every aspect:art,collaboration, construction. Amazing. Just amazing. Another bridge that unifies the continents, countries and thus PEOPLE....

Those shots from the ends of the bridge I think give the best idea of its scale. You can barely even see the end of the bridge from the other side.

Nice to see you made a videe of this bridge!

[@Dr23rippa]

Never did this ever touch sky news or BBC news or any media to my knowledge. Its not the only project out of Turkey that deserves big credit and exposure. They built this during the Pandemic on time! Or ahead of schedule, in an earthquake prone zone crazy! I'm addition to this they also got stung with a crippled lira....

[@direnius]

That's usually the case with news out of Turkey. Turkey is an outcast in this world. It's neither Western enough, nor Islamic enough, nor Asian enough. It's not rich enough to be in the richest of the richest club, not poor enough to be categorized in the underdeveloped world. So it's usually overlooked when something happens. It always amazes me.

[@emreakaln8202]

@@direnius Since the current government has been in power for nearly 20 years, it is very sad that the world unfortunately recognizes our country as an Islamic country, we were a country that made reforms before the current government and took important steps towards westernization. Moreover, there are people who do not know this when I say that our country is a secular country, because of long-term mismanagement.
