ANZAC Day




98 years ago today, ANZAC forces stormed ashore at Gallipoli. Their mission was to knock the Ottoman Empire out of the Great War. The First Lord of the [British] Admiralty, Winston Churchill, thought that the Ottoman Empire was rotted and would fall with a slight push.

He was wrong.

For lightly-populated countries, Australia and New Zealand paid a heavy price for Churchill's "error".

And it could be why, in the next war, when Churchill advocated invading the Balkans as "the soft underbelly of Europe", nobody seriously listened to him.
