History: Gallipoli World War I.

Post by 1nemansquad »

Some 480,000 Allied troops had been dedicated to the failed campaign. British casualties (including imperial forces) amounted to approximately 205,000. French losses were estimated at around 47,000. Turkey incurred around 250,000 casualties.

Even though there was some heavy loses of life on the Turks side, you can't help but give them huge respect for kicking some serious ass. This is the only battle in recent memory that a Muslim country did a major damage to Western countries.

Big up to the Turks..

It was Attaturk the founder of mordern Turkey that brought to the fall of the Ottoman Empire in 1920. :down:
So Turkeys history post 1918 is irrelevant.
