Gallipoli was a famous campaign at the start of World War I between the Triple Entente powers of Great Britain, France, and Australia/New Zealand and the Ottoman Empire. The Triple Entente were trying to capture Istanbul and effectively cut the Ottomans out of the war early. It was a major disaster, and tens of thousands of soldiers died on both sides. Today, there are many monuments and cemeteries in the park dedicated to the fallen.
