Gallipoli's a campaign that goes beyond just the military aspects, but is steeped in historical memory as well. Along with getting into the French and Newfoundland contributions more than I had in the past, that's one of the things that makes it so interesting to work on. Hope you enjoy this one.
This channel is an absolute gem. I am really hoping for a breakdown of the 'Hundred Days' campaign at the end of the war
It's absolutely awesome to see the sponsor be Blackmill! The WW1 Game series is not only fun but helped me learn alot about the Eastern and Italian fronts.
I say this as a Turkish citizen from Gelibolu / Çanakkale aka Gallipoli, this documentary is by far the best I have seen made by any foreigner. Even your pronunciations of name of those Turkish officers are quite good. Keep up the good work.
You guys need to do a supercut of your "The only history channel that X" endings.
“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 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.” Ataturk's tribute to Anzacs killed at Gallipoli
The Ottomans outperformed all expectations and did reasonably well at times during the First World War as the battles of Gallipoli and Kut can attest, the latter being the worst Entente defeat in the war. Granted, the Ottomans suffered from weaknesses and had issues from it's decline before, but they proved far more resilient and dangerous than most expected.
"And the band played Waltzing Matilda. As the ship pulled away from the quay And amidst all the cheers, the flag-waving and tears We sailed off for Gallipoli~"
Anzacs: I hope it will be a good holiday Ottoman guy with machine gun: I don t think so

Great! Hope following Macedonia Mesopotamia Caucasus and African front walkthroughs .
Gerçekten kaliteli ve tarafsız videolar yapıyorsunuz bu konuda nadir youtube kanallardan biri olmanızı söylemek isterim ❤ hiç kimsenin etkisi altında kalmadan belgelerle ile Osmanlı imparatorluğun ne kadar ihtişamlı olduğunu her defasında anlatmanız bizleri gururlandırıyor.
Gallipoli is awe-inspiring. Anyone who can, should visit. I'm a Serbian, but at Anzac Cove I wept... No, I howled like a baby in front of the graves of those young men who traveled 15K km to die there. The same grief overcame me because of all the others - there's cemeteries everywhere. Another profoundly touching aspect is the respect the Turks showed and continue to show to the fallen enemy. And later, when you could think of other things, it should be how much that battle shaped the world: Ataturk's ascent, preserving Turkey as a secular republic... As I said, awesome, stunning.
2:00 - My first thought is, "What about coastal batteries? Won't they cause problems in the strait?" How did Churchill convince others that this plan was feasible? Even if they took the Gallipolian peninsula, they still couldn't traverse the Dardanelles strait because there are coastal batteries on the Asia Minor side. This plan sounds like it should have been shot down in the brainstorming phase.
When you go there you realise that if the Anzacs had landed at the right place on the first day they could have cut the pennisula. As well if the British had not dithered at Suvla bay for a day or two they could have got to the high ground. There were a few chances where the battle could have gone the allied way.
Love Türkiye What followed after that campaign & effect on ol churchy is hilarious to read
I visited New Zealand last February. The National Museum in Wellington had an exhibit on Gallipolli. I was weeping by the time I left. ❤from Canada for my Kiwi and Aussie cousins. Also ❤ for the Turks defending their homeland.
They never expected them to mine the straights & thought they could take then with the Navy alone - well idiocy’s not confined to the C21st then 😼
The best history channel on youtube imo.
I feel like isonzo just came out! What a treat!
