Osmanlı Devleti, I. Dünya Savaşı’nda Almanya liderliğindeki İttifak Devletleri yanında yer almak zorunda kalmıştır. Bu sebeple İngiltere ve Fransa, “hasta adam” diye adlandırdıkları Türk devletinin topraklarını paylaşmak için en uygun zamanın geldiğini düşündüler. Plana göre, Çanakkale Boğazı, iki devletin gemilerinden oluşan muhteşem donanmayla geçilecek ve İstanbul işgal edilecekti. Boğaza dönük deniz harekâtı 1914 yılı Kasım ayında fiilen başladı. Kısa süren ancak oldukça tahripkâr olan bu ilk bombardımandan sonra, asıl deniz harekâtı 19 Şubat 1915 tarihinde başladı. 18 Mart 1915’te başlatılan nihai saldırı ise bizim açımızdan büyük bir zaferle sonuçlandı. Deniz yolunda yaşadıkları büyük hezimetin olumsuz etkilerini silmek isteyen İtilaf Devletleri, bu kez Gelibolu Yarımadası’na çıkartma yapmaya karar verdiler. 25 Nisan 1915 tarihinde karaya asker çıkaran İtilaf güçleri, kahraman Türk Ordusu karşısında hiçbir ciddi ilerleme sağlayamayıp 9 Ocak 1916’da geri çekilmek zorunda kaldılar. Bu çalışmada, savaşın cereyan ettiği dönemin genel siyasi görünümü başta olmak üzere, savaşın sebepleri, meydana gelişi ve neticeleri yanında şehitlerimizin hatıralarına da yer verilmiştir.

ÇANAKKALE MARITIME AND LAND WARFARES: REASONS, DEVELOPMENT AND RESULTS
(IN REMEMBRANCE OF 99TH ANNIVERSARY OF ÇANAKKALE VICTORY)
ABSTRACT
In the World War I; Ottoman Empire had to be allied with Central Powers which is under the leadership of Germany. Therefore England and France thought that it was the high time to share lands of Turkish state which they labelled as “sick man”. According to the plan, they would pass through Çanakkale Strait with the great navy of both states and they would occupy Istanbul. Maritime operations for the strait started virtually in November, 1914. After the first bombardment which lasted short but was quite devastating, the real maritime operation started on February 19, 1915. The last attack which started on March 18, 1915 was completed with a great victory for us. With the wish of removing negative effects of great fiasco they experienced in sea lane, Allied Powers decided to assault on Gallipoli Peninsula. Allied powers who landed troops on April 25, 1915 could not make any progress against brave Turkish army and had to retreat on January 9, 1916. In this study, it was mentioned basically the general political appearance of period in which the war took place, then the memories of martyrs apart from the reasons, emergence and results of war.
