I just transitted the Dardenells and the Bosphorus.  And I have conducted a parade at the Trukish Gallipoli memorial.  It never ceases to amaze me that someone could look at that coast line and come with the wild idea of conducting opposed landings there...

The landings weren't really opposed except in one or two places, and the amphibious plan was largely a success.  It was the fact that the British didn't move off the beachhead fast enough, squandering the initiative they had gained with the landings, that created the fiasco.

Like Dieppe, right?

At least Churchill got the sack, as First Sea Lord, for messing up Gallipoli.

No, not like Dieppe. Dieppe was a fiasco from the get go. They did not even really get onto the beach in good order, much less really get off of it in any strength.
