The final destruction of the Ottoman Empire - one of the great epics of the First World War

By 1914 it had been drastically weakened and circled by numerous predators waiting to finish it off. Following the Ottoman decision to join the First World War on the side of the Central Powers, the British, French and Russians hatched a plan to finish the Ottomans off- an ambitious and unprecedented invasion of Gallipoli . . .
