How Did Day one of the Landing at Gallipoli Contribute to the Military Failure of This Campaign?

...

in the British Government, decided to launch attack on turkey. His plan was to begin by gaining control of the Gallipoli Peninsula. Churchill was aware that the control of the Dardanelles would not allow them to reach Constantinople but would also enable them to transport supplies through to the Britain Empire’s ally, Russia. Churchill calculated that while fighting was taking place on the Western Front, by taking down Germany’s allies, the war would be shortened and with any luck give the allies an advantage, it did not however, go to plan. Even before the actual landing disaster struck and the campaign did not proceed as proposed. In the previous month there had been another failed attempted by French and British forces to penetrate the Dardanelles. This failure promoted the decision to make a land attack. The problem was that the Turks had prior knowledge that a land attack was imminent and they had prepared themselves accordingly.” (The Gallipoli Campaign.N.p.,n.d.web).

The lack of communication about the landing at Gallipoli is considered one of the reasons for the failure of the campaign. As mentioned before, the big reason as to why the campaign was such a failure was due to the inadequate mapping of the Peninsula, and the initial planning of the invasion. It is believed that the campaign failed due to bad co-ordination between the Allies, but really it was because they lacked good mapping of the terrain. The maps were drawn by Corporals and Generals of the Navy ships.
