the events of gallipoli
Gallipoli was one of the allies great disasters in WWI. Gallipoli was the plan thought up by Winston Churchill to end the war early by creating a new war front that the central powers could not cope with.On November 25th 1914, Winston Churchill suggested his plan for a new war front in the Dardanelles to the British government’s War Council. On January 15th 1915, the War Council gave its agreement and British troops in Egypt were put on alert. The Central Powers were fighting primarily on two fronts – the Western and Eastern Fronts. Fighting against such he armies as the Russian and French armies put a great deal of strain on the German military. The input of the smaller Austrian army into the major battles had been small when compared to the German army’s input.Churchill’s idea was simple. Creating another front would force the Germans to split their army still further as they would need to support the badly rated Turkish army. When the Germans went to assist the Turks, that would leave their lines weakened in the west or east and lead to greater mobility there as the Allies would have a weakened army to fight against.
The u.s. joins
The United States joined WWI in 1917 because of the Submarine Warfare and the Lusitania, some said the bankers were involved, and propaganda from both sides influenced the American decision. Also the Zimmerman Telegram pushed the U.S. to war. lastly, the most important reason the U.S. got involved in the war was because they felt that their position as a neutral country had been violated because a German U-boat had sunk the Lusitania, an American passenger seat.
