ANZAC Gallipoli Campaign
The Ottoman Empire reinforced position and an attack on August 10th had Turkey recapturing Sulva Bay
After landing the Allies could not progress as the trench warfare formed quickly, as done in the Western Front
The Allied Troops were finally ordered to evacuate on the 7th of December, the last troops left Sulva Bay and ANZAC Cove on the 20th of December
In January 1915, Russia had appealed to Britain for assistance against the Ottoman Empire
The last troops left Cape Helles on January 9th, 1916
By 1915, the war on the Western Front had fallen into stalemate
Attack was ordered on Sulva Bay in August with 63,000 Allied Troops landing to link up with ANZACs at ANZAC cove
In 1915, the two forces were training in Egypt and General Birdwood, the commander of both forces, formed a single ccrps between the two force the title of the new army corps was Australian and New Zealand Army Corps (ANZACs)

Western Front
In August 1914, the Germans marched through Belgium into France. The allies couldn't drive the Germans back and by Christmas 1914, there was a deadlock
The Germans and Allies faced each other across a line of trenches that stretches from Os-tend on the Belgium coast to the Swiss border
-
Cons: Machine guns, trenches, barbed wire and artillery meant that instead of a rapid war movement, the Western Front became bogged down with attacks and country-attacks

Breaking the Stalemate
The Battle of Somme
Between July and November 1916, the Allied forces tried to break through German lines
The Germans were focused on a front in Northern France, they were pushed back about 8kms
-
Later in the Somme Campaign, Australia and New Zealand troops fought at Pozieres from 23rd July-8th August 1916
After making early gains, Australia suffered over 230,000 causalities
By the end of the Somme Campaign, casualty numbers for the Allies were around 620,000 dead and wounded. And 500,000 for the Germans
Trench Warfare
-
The horrible conditions of trench life, destructive weaponry constantly going off, and waiting to charge the enemy caused the soldiers as 'shell-shocked'
'Shell-shocked' in WW1 is now identified as PTSD. The symptoms the soldiers experienced included: fatigue, confusion, tremors or ticks, nightmares, anxiety and memory loss
Many soldiers stopped sleeping, which lead to lack of concentration
Between 1915-1918 many attempts were made to break the stalemate of Trench conflict.
Initially there would be a long artillery attack, using explosive shells against opposing trench's
This would force defending troops underground and clearing the way for troops to cross 'no mans land'
WW1 (1914-1918)
