  1. Totally false that there is a historical consensus that Gallipoli would not have worked. It could quite conceivably have worked in which case the Ottomans could be knocked out of the war, Russia supported, Bulgaria kept out and the Central Powers would be massively weakened. Given what was known at the time and given the alternative was further infantry attacks in France before sufficient artillery was available, it was worth trying. Even though it failed, it sucked in Ottoman reserves which otherwise would have had to be fought elsewhere.
