Overview: In 1911 Winston Churchill had astutely stated that, ‘It is no longer possible to force the Dardanelles, and nobody would expose a modern fleet to such peril.’ Yet, four years later, as First Lord of the Admiralty, he would override the opposition of his First Sea Lord, Jackie Fisher, and support a daring assault on the Gallipoli peninsula.
With Imperial Russia appealing to her allies for assistance against the might of the Central Powers, Churchill and those who agreed with him, thought that they could knock the Ottoman Empire out of the war by forcing their way through the Dardanelles to Constantinople.
What started out promisingly ended in utter, dismal disaster for the Entente powers.
