| Why did the Gallipoli
campaign fail? |

Smith
The
allied campaign got off to a bad start because the Turks had
a month’s warning of the plan to land on the Gallipoli
peninsula when an allied navel attack failed and when forces
landed on the beaches in April 1915 the Turks were ready for
them. |

The
allied campaign went wrong from the start because the Turks
knew they were coming, the Turks also had the advantage of
being on higher ground when the allies landed
so they could just shoot at them from above. |

The
hills provided safety against the on-coming shells and the
ANZACs could not build trenches easily. |

I think that the most important cause of failure was that
the Turks knew about it in advance. If the Allies had known that the
Turks knew about their surprise attack the Allies would have
prepared more carefully, send more troops, and be more aware
of the Turks ambushing them. |

The
allies didn’t send enough people to fight. This would have
been important because if they had had more people, they
could have had a better chance of winning as they would have
had back-ups. |
