has anybody wondered why the Gallipoli campaign which was the allies against the ottoman empire in a long offensive was a failure from the start? there are many different beliefs which were military strategy and leadership, which great Britain during that time in WW1 was still in the strategies of previous british principles...which i saw on the history channel was: strength in numbers....which was opposite of true during the world wars and beyond. The only reason why it was no longer true. was the invention of the machine gun. when trench warfare and the machine gun were used in unison.. that made the idea of strength in numbers an invalid idea! the whole reason the Gallipoli campaign was lost was because of the landscape of the invasions, the weapondry, and the tactics....as Britain (as i think) was still using victorian tactics.....does anybody agree? its what i read and found out in several locations. here is some info on the victorian army which lasted until world war two:
