NATIONAL ANTHEM PERFORMEDCANAKKALE, TÜRKİYE - APR. 25: As part of the 110th anniversary commemorations of the Gallipoli campaign, a ceremony was held at the Lone Pine Memorial on the Gallipoli Peninsula, Canakkale, Türkiye on Friday, Apr. 25. The event honored Australian soldiers who lost their lives during the battle at Gallipoli as part of the Australian and New Zealand Army Corps (ANZAC) under the British Army. Tens of thousands of soldiers died in one of the world's most ferocious battles 110 years ago in the Gallipoli campaign in the Ottoman Empire during World War I. The battle took place between April 25, 1915 and Jan. 9, 1916. Britain and France wanted to secure their ally Russia, as the Gallipoli Peninsula provides a sea route to what was then the Russian Empire. Their aim was to capture Istanbul, the Ottoman Empire’s capital. Turks repelled a naval attack, and there were many casualties on both sides during the eight-month offensive. When the land campaign also failed, the invading forces withdrew. Victory against the Allied forces boosted the morale of the Turkish side, which then went on to wage Türkiye’s War of Independence in 1919-1922, and eventually formed a republic in 1923 from the ashes of the old empire.
