Gallipoli Assignment.
World War one, or 'The Great war' first started in late June 1914, when Archduke Franz Ferdinand of
Austria was assassinated causing threats to start the war by mid August. This was a chance to
introduce the world to modernised weaponry such as gas bombs, machine guns and tanks. Australia
has always been known as the country where anything goes. Where we enjoy gathering together to
enjoy all of Australia's achievements. That was no different in 1914. Australia was thrilled with the
idea of going to war, we wanted the chance to show the world what we could give. Even though
Australia had no choice in matter of going to war as it was already arranged. Gallipoli is known as a

By the time the war was over in November 1918, more than 9 million soldiers had been killed.
Those who survived Gallipoli would never again mistake war for adventure. Within 24 hours the
plan had failed, leaving approximately 747 Australians dead on the first day. Gallipoli has become
so important to Australia's national identity because it was the first time Australian's fought
overseas. World War 1 has shaped the way Australia's now lives as we grow to know, and respect the
Anzac legend as we understand what the soldiers did for our nation. The ANZAC legend will always
live on as the stories are passed through family, to family. Anzac Day is celebrated to ensured the
campaign will never be forgotten.

6. Battle Of Gallipoli Research Paper
The Battle of Gallipoli was a campaign during World War 1, between April 1915 through January
1916.It took place on the Gallipoli peninsula which forms the bank of the Dardanelles. This strait
provided a sea route for the Russian Empire,which would allow the Allies to transport them
supplies.Winston Churchill wanted to gain complete control of the peninsula,so they launched a
naval attack on the strait and a land attack on the Ottoman capital.He hoped that the downfall of
Constantinople would bring the downfall of Turkey.The attack failed and became one of the
Ottoman's greatest victories.This essay will describe the causes and effects of the battle.Also will

8. Cultural Economies Of The World
When examining different cultural economies of the world, one would find that there are a multitude
of emerging economies in all areas of the world. One of these emerging markets can be found in the
Eurasian country of Turkey. Through an analysis of their government, current economic state, their
geographic location and other similar traits of Turkey's culture, we are better able to understand
where this growth in the economy has stemmed from and how it can continue to improve within
time. In looking at Turkey's government, it is made apparent the similarities that it shares with the
United States. As a democratic nation, Turkey hold both a constitution through which they abide by
as well as the same three branch of the Executive, Legislative, and Judiciary. Within the Executive
branch of their government, houses the President who is elected by the Grand National Assembly
members, of the legislative branch, by popular vote. Turkey also has its own Prime Minister and
Council of Ministries. Known as a Republican Parliamentary Democracy, it is apparent the Turkish
government contains a mixture of many well developed countries governmental ideals like that of
the United Kingdom, United States, and France. Due to their location and labor force, Turkey has
seen a steady rise in their economy in the last 7 years, nearing around 2% per year, with an increase
in labor and employment soaring as well. For being seen as a developing economy, it seems that

10. A Brief Look at the Byzantine Empire
The Byzantine Empire
The Byzantine Empire, seen as a direct continuation of the Roman Empire, lasted approximately
from 500–1450 CE. This empire proved to be a valuable city for both the Greeks as well as the
Romans. Throughout history, the Aegean Sea, the Bosphorus Strait, and Constantinople all impacted
Roman history through constant trade and achievements. Other than trade, perfecting the oil
industry, and the construction of aqueducts, conduits, and tunnels was other main achievements.
The Aegean Sea, containing more than 2,000 islands was heavily relied on for trade, which in turn
brought prosperity to the Byzantine Empire. Trade became their main source of income with trade
traveling as far as Spain and Egypt. "Commercial sea trading became their main source of income
and, in time, they colonized the various islands of the Aegean archipelago and produced various
commodities such as figs, grapes, wine, raisins, honey, wheat, assorted vegetables, and herbs" (Mark
3). This sea played a role in development of Greek culture because it provided transportation for
trade. This led to job specialization with occupations such as fishermen and shipbuilders. Because of
its location, the earliest civilization in Europe appeared on the coasts and islands of the Aegean Sea.
"Because of its strategic and commercial importance, the Bosphorus Strait has played a significant
role in the world history" (Kayaalp 9). The Bosphorus Strait was best known for its oil

–Ralph Marston
In the Oxford English Dictionary, determine is defined as "to set bounds to; to bound, limit; to put
an end or limit to; to come to an end." The definition of determination, with the same dictionary, is
"the action of determining, the condition of being determined." The etymology of determine came
about in the 12th century "in Littré [from the] Old French word determine–r, [from the] Provençal,
Spanish Italian determiner, [and the] Latin [phrase] dētermināre" (Oxford University Press). "Being

most of the time a way and an only easy way to solve humongous problems between countries like
the territories' conflicts, and the political and economical misunderstandings. The First World War in

The Rise of The Ottoman Empire By: Hunter Starr HIST 130: Muslim History From the Rise of
Islam to 1500 CE Professor Matthee November 27, 2007. The Ottoman Turks emerged on the
periphery of the Byzantine Empire and the Saljuk Turks. Under a Turkish Muslim warrior named
Osman, raids were conducted in western Anatolia on Byzantine settlements and a vast number of
Turks were united under his banner. Those Turks who flocked to Osman's banner and followed him
into the history books came to be called the Ottomans. The word Ottoman, fits these Turks well as it
roughly translates from Turkish as "those associated with Oman." At its outset, the Ottoman emirate
was comparatively weak and of little consequence to its much larger and ... Show more content on

Those associated with Osman, more than any other Turkish state had as their guiding principle the
concept of being a gazi, gearing the emirate for conquest. As mentioned earlier, a gazi was a Muslim
warrior who inhabited the military borderland between Byzantium and Islam; he was a warrior of
the faith. A gazi held the sacred duty to extend and expand Islamic territory at the expense of the
non–Muslim's who inhabited the land. The gazi performed his duty to the Umma by means of the
gaza, or raid. These raids evolved into perpetual warfare carried out against the nonbelievers,
especially the Christians, in the interests of Islam. Because of the Ottomans beneficial location, and
their guiding principle, the early Ottoman state did not disintegrate under pressure from internal
feuds that plagued other rival emirates because it constantly expanded, gained new territory and
relentlessly provided new outlets for the energies of the gazi warriors. Under Osman, the Ottomans
took advantage of the bloody and deadly rivalries that existed between the Byzantines, the Bulgars,
Serbs, Venetians, Genoans, and other Christian powers in Eastern Europe, laying siege to, and
capturing the main Byzantine strongholds between Soghut and Nicaea. After Osman died in 1326,

The forbidding headland reaches 10 miles across at the widest point but typically reaches between
3–5 miles in breadth and stretches 45 miles in length. The land mass consists of steep, rocky slopes
and deep ravines cut into steep hills. Thin, sandy beaches line the western and southernmost
coastline. Key terrain included the hills of Achi Baba, overlooking Cape Helles on the southernmost
tip and Sari Bair, overlooking Anzac Cove and the Asian coastline beyond. Strong ocean currents on
the morning of the Battle of Anzac Cove forced the Australians to land nearly 3,000 yards north of
their target. The beach here was less than forty feet wide and lined with sheer cliff faces creating a
natural 200–foot tall barricade. Turkish forces had not bothered to fortify this stretch of land nor to
station troops here as it was deemed an impossible landing site.
Weather in the Gallipoli region was beginning to improve after a harsh and unforgiving winter. By
the landing at Anzac Cove in late April, temperatures were ranging from nighttime lows in the mid–
40s to daytime highs in the mid–60s. Average rainfall for April was typically around 45mm and had

Gallipoli; The Battle that should not have been
Entering the twentieth century, the possibility of a World War seemed to loom in the clouds for some
time. At that point, the world had not yet seen a war as massive as what was to come. Due to an
increase in militarism, nationalism, internal conflict, and some key events, war was eminent. Great
nations chose sides, and became what would be called the Central Powers or the Allied Powers.
Military forces grew a tremendous amount and more nations joined in the fight, as the Great War set
the tone for what was to come later in the twentieth century. Great leaders were destined to either
fail or ultimately come out on top, or in the case of Winston Churchill, both. Every battle was of ...

The Gallipoli campaign lasted 8 months total and ended in a great victory for the Ottoman Empire.
Many circumstances that were unforeseen led to the defeat of the allied troops. Much evidence
exists for why this mission failed, often pointing to the unknown and unexpected geography of the
land. Turkish tactics and equipment that soldiers were not prepared to face led to demise of many
men of the allied forces. Well placed trenches, tough Turkish barbed wire, machine guns and an
inaccurate map can be blamed for the failed mission. Along with those factors, Winston Churchill
got more than what he bargained for and make a few key mistakes in his strategy to take the
peninsula.
June 28th, 1914, Arch–duke Francis Ferdinand of Austria was the victim of an assassination in

World War I. However, that was not the only cause of World War I, only the event that made the
inevitable a reality. Before the assignation for Arch–duke Ferdinand; Nationalism and Militarism

World War I, or the The Great War, defined the start of modern warefare to the world with

anything the world had ever seen before, with technological and industrial sophistications that led to
catastrophic warfare. At the time, the British Empire was seen as one of the most capable fighting
forces in the world. This however, did not mean that they went through the entirety of war without
significant losses, the tragic Dardanelles Campaign, and the Battle of Gallipoli proved to be such an
example. This offensive maneuver against the Ottoman Empire is regarded as one of Britain's
biggest tactical and militaristic mistakes of the war, as hundreds of thousands of allied troops were
slaughtered in just eight months. This disastrous event also nearly derailed the political career and

Lord before the outbreak of war reflected a growing inclination toward a more proactive and less
reactive naval policy, his nine months as First Lord after the outbreak of war represented a
compulsion... While his objective remained clear, the means by which to achieve it were not.
Always in the way were the objections of his naval staff, which saw much more clearly than
Churchill the impractical nature of many of his suggestions. Churchill was not interested in
criticism. He wanted solutions, and it is certain he viewed his own unremitting agitation as a way to
inspire the ingenuity required to find them."

The Dwight Mission was established in 1820. It operated in Arkansas until 1829. It was the first
protestant effort directed at the education and conversion of native Americans in Arkansas and was
one of the first protestant missions established west of Mississippi River. Tolluntuskee invited
Protestant missionaries like the one that founded the Dwight Mission so that the Cherokee children
could learn Anglo–American ways. The mission was in a location that was firmly under control of
Takatoka. Chief Takatoka opposed the effort to build the mission. Chief Takatoka expressed hostility
about the mission and spoke resentfully about the mission. Chief Takatoka did not want the mission
to be built. Chief Takatoka called the missions supporters among the Cherokee "the breeches and
pantaloons party."
Even though Chief Takatoka was openly opposed to the mission and told family members not to
send their children to the school, he was the one who proposed that the school be located near
Spadra Creek. It was most likely that he wanted the school to be located near him so that he could

28. Gallipoli
Gallipoli is the remarkable story of two Western Australian mates who are sent to Gallipoli in 1915.
Frank and Archie are both very successful sprinters and Archie wants adventure, while Frank wants
to stay in Australia, but signs up for the inventory anyway.
This story brings back some harsh truths about warfare, and explains why so many naïve young men
joined up, only to suffer deaths well before their time.
The troops were headed for the Gallipoli peninsula and the Dardanelles Strait, in southern Turkey, to
attempt to take the peninsula. The war was between the Allies (mainly Britain, US, France, Russia,
Italy, Japan, and Australia) and the Central Powers (mainly Germany, Austria–Hungary and Turkey)

Archie felt that the war was Australia's responsibility too because, as he said, "If we don't stop them
there, they'll end up here". Archie said he would feel ashamed of himself if he didn't fight, even
though he was underage, because he was a good athlete, and that's "what the army needs". He also
felt it was Australia's war because Australia does everything hand in hand with Britain. Frank felt
that a war on the other side of the world had nothing to do with Australia, and he did not respect any
snobby British authority.
Probably the actual realisation of what they were getting themselves into was when Frank and
Archie were standing on a hill at sunset; listen to the anguished sounds of battle. Even more
horrifying for Frank was witnessing Snowy on his deathbed naïvely saying, "I wonder why they
aren't giving me any food or drink?"
When the Anzacs were in Egypt, they thought that the 'Gypos' were a bunch of thieves. The lecture
one of the officers gave before the start of the exercises in Cairo probably didn't do much for respect
towards the Egyptians.
I thought that it was amusing to see the state rivalry during the football game, as it is so reflective of
what still happens today in modern day Australia.

Gallipoli movement were unsuccessful in meeting their objectives, the Anzacs were seen as

Australian and New Zealand identity.
The name Anzac Day, became official on the 25th of April in 1916. This day is one of Australia's

was fought and served by the Australian and New Zealand Army Corps, and acknowledges the

32. How Is Winston Churchill A Hero
Ever since his victory in World War II, Winston Churchill has been considered one of the greatest
military and political leaders of all time. He has been remembered for his determination,
motivational speeches and wartime leadership. In particular, the success of the evacuation of
Dunkirk, and the defeat of Hitler have been remembered as two of his greatest achievements.
However, Churchill also made a number of mistakes throughout his career, which have now been
mostly forgotten. The best example of this, is the failed Gallipoli campaign, which ended in
complete disaster. However in spite of this, Churchill still remains thought of as one of the greatest
leaders in history, because of the challenges that he faced throughout his career, and how he
responded to them. ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ...
The aim of this campaign was to regain control of the Dardanelles, a vital waterway connecting the
Black Sea and the Mediterranean. The Dardanelles were under the control of the Turks, who were
fighting onside with Germany. For the Allies, control over this passage would mean easier and faster
transport of weapons to the Russian navy. At the time of Gallipoli, Winston Churchill was First Lord
of the Admiralty, and therefore responsible for the campaign. The campaign resulted in disaster,
with over 200,000 soldiers wounded or killed in battle or from the harsh living conditions.
Eventually, in December of 1915, the Allies were forced to retreat. Following the failure of the

excellent example of greatness because in the face of adversity( the second World War ) he excelled
and he persevered through his so called `wilderness years` and then excelled as Britain's wartime
leader . Churchill's dogged perseverance to express exactly what he thought was the best possible
way forward for Britain meant that he was disliked by many in Parliament but also admired by
many at the same time . Martin Gilbert recognised this situation saying " some detested him , and

This statement was condemned by Nicholson for "sounding cracked and tinny as though played

consistent about the immanence of war , about the necessity of rearmament , even the wickedness of

40. The Battle Of Churchill As A Scapegoat For The Failure
As history unfolded, the Dardanelles offensive failed, but the ground invasion plans for Gallipoli
went ahead as planned. By the end of the campaign, massive amounts of lives had been lost on the
British side, and it was a decisive failure. Dardanelles and Gallipoli were very much a prime
example of something Churchill would do over and over again: see positives, but not negatives or
consequences, only possibilities. These campaigns were the end of Churchill politically for a time,
along with the Asquith government. Asquith was forced to form a wartime coalition government

The Hagia Sophia which is the place of worship located in Constantinople, is one of the most

of 180 feet ("Byzantium (330–1453"). The geographic features of the Byzantine Empire had helped
them become a prestigious empire throughout their reign. With three bodies of water surrounding
them,it allowed easy access for trade and transportation of materials and soldiers throughout their

Constantinople, was located on this waterway it allowed wealth to come into the city, and let

In the classic novel, True Grit, Charles Portis allows the main character, Mattie Ross, to tell the story
of the journey she set out on to gain vengeance on her father's killer. Mattie travels with Yarnell, a
family friend, from her hometown Dardanelle in Yell County, Arkansas to Fort Smith, Arkansas
where she gathers information about her father's murder from the sheriff's office. After speaking
with the sheriff, Mattie resales the horses her father bought back to Colonel Stonehill. She
eventually uses the money to hire Rooster Cogburn, a U.S. marshal, to assist her on her quest to find
her father's killer, Tom Chaney. Mattie is eating supper at the Monarch, when a stranger later
identified as a Texas Ranger, LaBoeuf, enters seeking room and board. Later, LaBoeuf makes it
known to Mattie that he is also searching for Tom Chaney on a different matter. Days later and after
much argument, the three set off to find Lucky Ned Pepper and his group hoping that Tom Chaney
is part of it. Mattie, Rooster Cogburn, and LaBoeuf go through many trials during the long journey
but it is all worth it at the end when they kill multiple outlaws, the most important one being Tom
Chaney. Through–out Mattie's life, she stays straightforward, witty, determined and lets nothing
stand in her way; Mattie Ross is a girl with true grit.
There are several occasions where Mattie shows that she shows she is the no–nonsense
straightforward type of person. She proves it especially to Colonel Stonehill various times. While
trying to sell the ponies back to him, Stonehill disagrees to the deal and calls Mattie impudent.
Mattie fires back saying, "I do not wish to be, sir, but I will not be pushed about when I am in the
right" (35). Mattie realizes that people believe they can overpower her because she is only a young
girl, but she stands her ground regardless of that. Upon meeting Laboeuf, Mattie once again stands
her ground after he warns her that her mother would not approve of her getting mixed up with
Rooster Cogburn and tells her that she should let the men handle the criminal investigation. Mattie

The Gallipoli Campaign went from 1915–1916, also known as the Battle of Gallipoli or the
Dardanelles Campaign, was an unsuccessful attempt by the Allied Powers to control the sea route
from Europe to Russia during World War I. The war began with a failed attack by British and French
ships on the Dardanelles straits in 1915 and then continued with a major land invasion, involving
French, Australian, New Zealand and British troops.

Respect: The soldiers should treat other people with respect. Soldiers can show respect for their
officers by obeying orders and showing loyalty to their teammates.
Duty: The soldiers should fulfil all tasks and jobs in the best manner possible. They should complete
all tasks given with 100% effort.
Bravery: Bravery is one of the most important values. Someone who is brave will do anything. They
will put themselves on the line just to make their country proud.
Causes of the Battle
The reason for the Gallipoli Campaign is for the British to be able to capture the Ottoman Empire
Capital and also to secure their trading route with Russia. Then with the secure trading route with
Russia, British forces would be able to supply Russia with resources and reinforcements. This then
would hopefully win the war for the allied nations and stop the German and Austria–Hungary forces
on the Western front.

against the Gallipoli peninsula must binge upon the ability to fleet.... To dominate the Turkish
defences with gunfire and to crush their field troops during that period of helplessness while an
army is disembarking, but also to cover the advance of the troops once ashore" This source
describes that plan of the attack, and how the operation was successful during the Gallipoli.
"General Hamilton informs me that the army is checked. The help which the navy has been able to
give the army in its advance has not been as great as anticipated, though effective in keeping down
the fire of the enemy's batteries, when it is a question of trenches and machine guns the navy is of

Overall, the United States' mission was successful. They, along with United Nations forces, were
able to push back the communists to avoid disaster. This was extremely important because the
United States knew that Asia was very susceptible to the "domino theory" (meaning that once one
nation became communist, they would all become communist) due to the sharing of ideals. The
Civil War in Greece and the dispute over the Dardanelles of Turkey allowed for the implementation
of the Truman Doctrine and the Marshall Plan. Greece had been struggling against communists who
wanted to take over the government. The United States, paranoid about the spreading of
communism, sent $300 million in aid through troops and financial means. As a result, Greece was
able to resist the communistic attempt to overthrow the democratic government. It was with the

"You can forget all your training; you have come here to show all your men how to die." The war to

country. War was a chance for a young countryman to show his allegiance and make his family
proud. Wilhelm II proclaimed that the troops would be "home before the leaves fell". Stewart Ross

War eventually spiraled into the four year long muddy debacle that killed nine million soldiers,
wounding many more, a multitude of which could have been prevented by better planning and
strategy. An increase in defensive technology, but a halt in the development of offensive weapons,
led to the 3 year stalemate of the Western Front. It took the lives of millions of both Allied and
Central Powers troops. Generals on both sides, particularly the British and French, did not alter their
strategy to utilize new weapons, such as the machine gun, advanced artillery, snipers, and poison
