Devout Muslims and soldiers of Allah (jihadis) believe the Gallipoli campaign was a “holy jihad” decided by the hand of Allah.
The Allies wildly underestimated their enemies.
Long called the “sick man of Europe,” the Ottoman Caliph had suffered one military defeat after another in the lead-up to World War I. Its reputation was so bad, in fact, that the British and their main allies, the French, half-thought they would cause the government to collapse simply by showing up. With their modern battleships busy fighting Germany, they almost exclusively employed outdated models during the Gallipoli campaign. They also made little effort to gather intelligence on the opposing Ottoman force. Lacking adequate maps, the steep gully-filled terrain caught them by surprise. And to top it off, most of their troops were inexperienced.Story continues below advertisementThree separate national identities were forged at Gallipoli.
Despite having just gained a large (albeit incomplete) measure of independence from Britain, Australians and New Zealanders did not necessarily identify themselves as distinct until the horrors of Gallipoli awakened their national consciousness. Since 1916, the two countries have held an Anzac Day every April 25, named for the Australian and New Zealand Army Corps (ANZAC) that fought in the campaign. The holiday, somewhat akin to Memorial Day in the United States, commemorates those who have died in war and is celebrated, among other things, with a dawn service, veterans’ marches, the wearing of red poppies and the gambling game two-up. A heightened sense of nationalism also emerged among the victors at Gallipoli, which Atatürk and his cohorts used to great effect in founding the independent Republic of Turkey out of the ashes of the Ottoman Empire. Australians, New Zealanders and Turks all commonly make pilgrimages to the battlefield, now a protected national park with numerous gravesites and memorials.
Radical Islamic terrorist arrested over plan to attack Australians and New Zealanders at Gallipoli
Milne News, April 24, 2019:
Turkish authorities have arrested an Islamic State member who was planning to attack tomorrow’s Anzac commemorations at Gallipoli attended by hundreds of Australians and New Zealanders.
The suspect is a Syrian national who was detained in Tekirdag, a northwestern province close to the Gallipoli peninsula, a local police spokesman said.
The Radical Islamic terrorist was identified in Turkish media simply as “A H”, along with a blurred passport photo.
Every year, Australians and New Zealanders travel to Turkey for memorial services on April 25 commemorating the failed 1915 military campaign by Anzac and allied forces to drive Ottoman troops from Gallipoli and the Dardanelles region.
On Wednesday, soldiers from New Zealand, Australia, Turkey and other countries held several services on the peninsula.
At dawn on Thursday, Australians and New Zealanders are due to hold a special dawn service marking the landings by ANZAC forces.
The police spokesman did not specify which day the detained terrorist may have been planning to carry out the attack.

Respect the combined ANZAC, British army and RN efforts there in 1915, they went where they were told, and did what was bidden . It was total war and over the next three years, more of the same was to come bringing much suffering before final victory.
Driving the Turk from Palestine as Gen Allenby and T.E.Lawrence did during 1917 and 1918 allowed the eventual foundation of a national home for the Jewish people by 1948.

Do tell us all who in the west is then “more intelligent” than the Aussies or keep your bigotry to yourself. I don’t’ see the US, Canada, the UK, NZ, etc. doing any better and the US has Trump and are still knee deep in it despite his efforts.

How the hell would you know? Just in case your ignorance overwhelms you, Botany Bay was necessary for a penal settlement DUE to the American rebellion as they could be NO longer dumped there. As an ally you embarrass yourself.

I spent decades as an expat. I had to work with many different people from many different lands. From Japanese, Koreans, Chinese, English, Danish … It was great working with them. However, upon a few occasions, I had to manage a group of Australians. Only group that I had to oversee, that was worse, were the froggy French. Hard to gauge which nationality was more STUPID … botany bay rejects … or the froggies.

England was in a no-win situation until the US entered the war — ditto for the USSR. The amount of raw materials, jeeps, planes, trucks sent to the USSR and England by the USA is staggering. That’s why the US was called the arsenal of democracy.
Imperial Japan could’ve rolled up AUS like a cheap rug in WW2. They could’ve sailed the IJN into Sydney harbor and no one in AUS could’ve done anything about it (incl. the RN) except mutter in their beer.

At least American voters elected Trump. Great start. He has reduced muslim immigration by 95% inspite of huge opposition from left/Liberal pro-jihadi loons.
same with Italy, Austria, Hungary etc.
All other with dumb voters electing pro-jihadi parties are dumb.

Ohh I agree with that but look at the barriers he has there. It is not safe and sure there yet by a long way. I just hope that he wins in 2020 and gets to 2025 alive.
I just absolutely resent the most common and standard (as well as wrong in fact) muslim abuse of Australians (the convict bullsh*t) being used by our supposed allies. In Australia, as in the UK, NZ, and the rest of the west including almost EVERY city in the USA, the MSM/globalists have lulled the masses into a stupor about the war being waged. I can make comments about every other non muslim group but it is divisive childish and pointless if we are to win.

The whole Western world has lost its collective mind. As with Australia, it doesn’t matter how many murderous Muslim attacks take place, not one leaders says ‘Enough and no more’, and then deports these largely disgusting people who have every intention of imposing themselves and their trash ideology on host nations. Canada has become a bad joke. After pretty much every Muslim attack, the attacker is described by authorities and Canada’s pitiful media as having a ‘mental disorder’ and tell the public that their Islamic beliefs had nothing to do with their savage actions. You’d think that by now the intelligent conclusion would be that belief in Islam causes a mental disorder, but no, this would be too logical. A year ago a man driving a van mounted the sidewalk, ran down and murdered 10 pedestrians, and injured many more. The public hasn’t yet been told what inspired this bit of vermin to do what he did and I more than suspect he was a Muslim repeating the running down and murder of 87 people in Nice, France, but the utter gutless Canadian authorities will go to enormous lengths to conceal the beliefs of a criminal if they are a Muslim. If the murderer had been an Anglican, Catholic, Baptist or Methodist, they’d be yelling this to the sky.

These soldiers gave their lives for freedom just to have leftie traitors like that unelected leftie slapper PM, with her bawstard sporn, in NZ destroy their country by importing muslim savages. Every country that import muslim savages end up with nothing but trouble. You just have to look at Sweden France, Germany, England and Sri Lanka to see how dangerous these savages are making it for their citizens. Its a neverending round of jihad, bombings, rapes and Christian church burnings. Youd think people would have enough sense to follow Hungary/Poland’s lead. No muslims allowed. Fook off back to the ME and kill each other, good riddance

Well said. No intelligent national leader would continue allowing Muslims to immigrate. The more that enter, the more that endless trouble occurs. I marvel at the stupidity of Western leaders and their mainstream media.

It isn’t “stupidity”. The muzscum are being used as a particularly brutal battering ram to destroy the nations of the West.
The so-called “refugee” invasion and the continued toleration of the INVASION of aliens (legal and illegal) – particularly from Third World countries – constitute the “shock troops” of the globalist, oligarch New World Ordure cabal. The plan: destroy whatever hegemony the nations of the West still retain. Destroy – with their “diversity” – their ability to be self-governing. Destroy their sovereignty. Cause as much strife, economic hardship, crime, mayhem and murder as possible. The brainwashed zombies of the Left are just the current “useful idiots” helping this to occur.
When the situation gets bad enough the sheeple of the once-free nations of the West will beg their so-called “leaders” to “do something”. Then the NWO cabal will come out with their “solution”: WORLD GOVERNMENT. (Translated: enslavement of all who are not part of their cabal or the government drones that do their dirty work.)

Thanks for this. I have for a long time had great admiration for Hungary’s Viktor Orban. As he has made clear, his country had brutal Ottoman Muslim rule – for about 140 years I believe
– and Hungarians are not interested in a repeat. The more that Western nation reject anything that comes out of the now Muslim countries-dominated U.N., the better. It is a festering sore.
