EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative sketch map from 1915 offers a glimpse into the complex and infamous Dardanelles Operations and Gallipoli Campaign during the First World War. The Allied powers, determined to open up a Black Sea route to Russia and undermine the Central Powers' control, launched an expedition to seize the strategic Dardanelles straits. The campaign began with the failed attempt to force the Dardanelles by naval bombardment, followed by an unsuccessful amphibious assault on the Gallipoli peninsula. The map illustrates the key locations of the ensuing eight-month-long stalemate, including the beaches where the Allied troops landed, the trenches and fortifications that marked the front lines, and the critical heights that changed hands numerous times. The map also highlights the important naval bases and fortifications on both sides, underscoring the naval nature of the campaign. The brutal and costly battle finally ended in December 1915 with the Allied withdrawal, leaving a profound impact on the course of the war and shaping the legacy of the Gallipoli Campaign as one of the most significant military campaigns in history.
