| Summary / Abstract (Note) | As the Great War entered 1915, the stalemate continued unabated on the Western Front. In an attempt to force the Central Powers’ hand, Winston Churchill – then First Lord of the Admiralty – developed plans to drive the Ottomans out of the war and, potentially, to bring Greece and Bulgaria in on the side of the Allies. He proposed a naval attack on the Dardanelles, which would expose Istanbul and open up a supply route with Russia. |
