During World War I, the Gallipoli Campaign was caused by the creative, if also risky, planning of British war leaders. Their goal was to strike at the heart of the Ottoman Empire, ally of Germany and Austria, and cause a quick surrender which would seriously weaken the Central Powers. Their plan failed in the face of stout Ottoman resistance once the campaign started.

The Ottoman Empire, based in what is now Turkey, was part of the Central Powers (Germany and Austria-Hungary are examples of other Central Powers). The Allied Powers were mainly composed of France, Great Britain and Russia. Russia struggled throughout most of World War I in its battles against Germany and the Ottomans. The Gallipoli Campaign in Turkey was launched by the French and British, and was intended to help capture the Ottoman capital of Constantinople, and open a seaway to Russia, through which Russia can receive badly needed supplies.

The Australia and New Zealand Army Corps were deployed to Gallipolli when the war began in the Middle East. There is no special region the ANZACs fought that battle.
