Gallipoli...
The battle of Gallipoli took place at the Gallipoli Peninsula, on the 25th of April, 1915. The New Zealand bonded with Australia to form the Anzacs at the war. This battle was between the Anzacs and the Turks, also it was part of World War One. Britain, France, New Zealand and Australia were on the allies side whereas Turkey and German on the other side. New Zealand contributed towards The Battle of Gallipoli due to their alliance with Britain. This battle plays an important role in our history as it identifies New Zealand as a nation. It was the historical loss of lives and a suicidal mission for the Anzac's. The Gallipoli campaign consisted of Britain, France, New Zealand and Australia against the Turks and Germany. The Anzac's fought for 8 months with great bravery, voyage and strength. They knew that this mission was a must because it was the survival of the fittest, in other words victory of the allies. The Anzacs were the victors of this particular war and many people believed that the victory represented the birth of our young nation.
By the time the campaign ended, more than 120,000 men had died: at least 87,000 Ottoman soldiers and 44,000 Allied soldiers, including more than 8700 Australians. Among the dead were 2779 New Zealanders, about a fifth of all those who had landed on the peninsula.
