Gallipoli is a port in European Turkey,
giving its name to the peninsula (ancient
name Chersonesus) on which it stands. In
World War I, at the instigation of Winston
Churchill, an unsuccessful attempt was made
Feb 1915-Jan 1916 by Allied troops to force
their way through the Dardanelles and link up
with Russia.
