In 1915, soldiers of Australia and New Zealand took part in a mutual war to capture the Gallipoli Peninsula to open the ways of black sea for Allied Navies. Major objective of the war was to capture Constantinople (Turkey), capital of Ottoman Empire, an ally of Germany during war. The ANZAC forcers landed at Gallipoli on April 25.
Plan was to knock off the Ottomans out of the war instantly but the campaign left for eight months. At the end of 1915, the allied forces were evacuated after immense suffering and hardships. During War, total deaths of allied forces were 56,000 out of which 8,709 were Australian & 2,721 were from New Zealand.

The development of the “Anzac legend” became a crucial component of both nations’ national identities. This has influenced how their residents perceive their past and comprehend the present.
