__World War One __
The First World War began when Britain and Germany went to war in August 1914, and Prime Minister Andrew Fisher's government pledged full support for Britain. The outbreak of war was greeted in Australia, as in many other places, with great enthusiasm. __Gallipoli __ The Gallipoli campaign took place at Gallipoli peninsula in Turkey from 25 April 1915 to 9 January 1916, during the First World War. The campaign was fought between Allied forces from Australia, New Zealand, Great Britain, Newfoundland, France and India troops, and Turkish ‘Ottoman’ forces. The initial landings by the Australian and New Zealand Army Corps – the ANZACs – occurred just before dawn on 25 April 1915, when Australians came ashore around Ari Burnu. By the end of the day, more than 20,000 Australians and New Zealanders had been put ashore, mainly in a little bay to the south of Ari Burnu that soon became known as Anzac Cove. More than 2000 Australians were killed during the first day and it has been estimated the opposing Turkish units suffered around the same number of casualties.
 * The original intention of the landing had been to head swiftly across the Gallipoli Peninsula and capture the Straits of the Dardanelles. Strong Turkish counter-attacks made this impossible. **


 * By the end of the eight-month campaign, 8709 Australians and 2721 New Zealanders had died with thousands more casualties. **


 * Even though the Gallipoli campaign was a military defeat, it helped to provide Australians with a new sense of their identity and place in the world. **

 ANZAC COVE

World War 1 became infamous for trench warfare, where troops were confined to trenches because of tight defenses. This was especially true of the Western Front. More than 9 million died on the battlefield, and nearly that many more on the home fronts because of food shortages, genocide, and ground combat. Among other notable events, the first large-scale bombing from the air was undertaken and some of the century's first large-scale civilian massacres took place, as one of the aspects of modern efficient, non-chivalrous warfare.
 * World War 1**, also known as the First World War or the Great War and the War to End All Wars, was a world conflict lasting from 1914 to 1919, with the fighting lasting until 1918. The war was fought by the Allies on one side, and the Central Powers on the other. No previous conflict had mobilized so many soldiers or involved so many in the field of battle. By its end, the war had become the second bloodiest conflict in recorded history.
