'Naval Attack' before land attack

The British thought they would send Russians ammunition to help there allies. In February 1915 the British naval force sent ships to mount an attack on the Dardanelles. They used eighteen war ships. The Turks laid minefields and anti-submarine nets. The British boats went from eighteen to twelve. Three were sunk and three were disabled. They retreated. But what the British didn't realise was that they would have got through had they kept going because the turks had run out of fire power. 

This meaning they could have stopped the war and stopped the deaths at Gallipoli too.

Land ATTACK:

The landing at Gallipoli was important because the ANZACs needed to invade it so the Turkish would surrender and the ANZACs could move further up the coast.

The landing was caused by the British ships retreating from the Dardanelles.
