What was the main and most important purpose of the Gallipoli Campaign?
Why was control of the Dardanelles so important?
Control of the Dardanelles would have allowed the Allies to create a sea route to supply their ally Russia, and also to gain access to the Ottoman capital, Constantinople (now Istanbul). Additionally, control of the Dardanelles would have put the Allies in a position to potentially knock the Ottoman Empire out of the war.
