  • For New Zealanders and Australians visiting Turkey, Gallipoli Peninsula (known locally as Çanakkale Peninsula) is an important site to visit because of the ANZAC involvement during WW1.
    We took a day tour from Canakkale over to the peninsula to get an in-depth tour and history lesson while visiting the ANZAC battle grounds and memorial sites.

    Hasan our tour guide was incredibly knowledgeable and passionate about sharing and honoring the history of the Gallipoli campaign. What we showed in this vlog was only a fraction of the detail he went through with us on the day. His Facebook page is how he helps to connect those who have had family fallen at Gallipoli but are unable to visit in person themselves.

    The reason why we honour the memory of falling soldiers who came with an invading army is the ANZAC soldiers' bravery and their conduct of fighting within the rules of war. In strict contrast to that behaviour, the invading Greek army in and around Izmir committed numerous crimes agains women, children and elderly people who were defenceless because the men in fighting age were trying to liberate our motherland under the lead of Atatürk. Thank you for another excellent Vlog with a special value, not only for New Zealand and Australia but also for Türkiye!

      ANZAC soldiers did not help the Turkish troops during the war, it was carnage between an invading army and soldiers defending their motherland. However, soldiers treated each other with respect and praised their bravery. You probably mean to express this fact by saying "helped".

    1. Outstanding natural beauty.
    2. Great sadness for the lives lost.
    3. Positivity. This was where Australia and New Zealand first stepped out onto the international stage as countries in their own right. The comradeship that helped shape our cultures. And if Mustafa Kemal hadn’t been there would we have modern Turkey?
    Also I was following in the footsteps of a Great Uncle who fought there.

    A little part from a journal of a soldier on 29th division:
    "We're really screwed, everyone in the division is exhausted. Actually, we shouldn't have taken part in any other attack.
    The 29th Division will never be the same again. But our superiors still think that we are the same guys on the day of landing. We have changed here.
    Everyone here thinks now;
    "Live and protect every living."
    Also..." These lands belong to the Turks."
    And more than half of casualties are from Turkish side, so its very touching for us too. Not only for our casualties tho. For all casualties. They land here for no reason. Only political one which i'm sure most of them dont care these political reasons. I read almost every letter and journal from turk side and aussies and zealand. They all suffered and hated to kill each others, but i hope now they are in peace.
    Even one of the Turk commanders shouted to enemy to "Stop". Aussies were attacking for capturing a hill(dont remember name) and they were supposed to wait for new zealand army support but New zealand army arrival delayed their commander ordered the assault anyways. And it was a suicidal attack :/ division by division they were dying. Turk commander wanted to stop the madness but they did'nt stop. Huge respect for all men lost their lives in there. I'm sorry for ur losses. Brit government made a misstake sadly we payed the price 😢
    So thank you for these video.

      Hello Ötüken, did you mean how many places? We didn't count but it was quite a lot hahaha. Spent three wonderful months in Türkiye. Would love to come back and explore the south and south west one day as well as see all our friends that we met during this trip.
      As for the variety, I think no where can come close. The region of Anatolia has the incredible history of multiple civilisations as well as spectacular natural wonders. We loved it all ❤️

    Savage fighting continued for 9 months but would ultimately result in a hard-won victory for the ottoman.
    They held gallipoli.Almost a hundred ottoman soldiers thier give lives while defending thier homelands.
    From ours rank came the battle-proven leaders that would go on found the republic of Turkey(Mustafa Kemal Atatürk).
    Tales of heroism and mateship were pivotal in forging their national identities.

    Hi Yen and Peter, off subject and not looking for spoilers but I assume you will be coming back to Aotearoa at some point to do more local content. Given that assumption, I think you would enjoy the Out There Living UA-cam channel about the geology and landforms of New Zealand, I think It would be a excellent resource for you to find new or even revisit interesting places to make content if or when back here.

They were there to BLINDLY obey the UK and INVADE someone else's land...

    The Gallipoli campaign was poorly conceived and a bloodbath for everyone involved, from the Turkish defenders to the multi national invaders. It's often overlooked how many non British, non ANZAC participants there were including Indian, New Foundland, French, Algerians, Tunisians and West Africans there were. Even Russia provided support. Such a tragedy 😢

      Such destruction and staggering loss of lives from so many nations. The Gallipoli peninsula actually has a lot of memorials honoring all the fallen soldiers but we went on just the Anzac trail. Man.. imagine having to fight for your colonizers ay, terrible on a whole other level.

      Thank you for highlighting this important but hardly mentioned fact of the invasion. There was also the sea battle. The largest armada of WWI consisting of numerous British, French, Italian heavy battle ships, cruisers and other warships tried to break through the sea defenses of the Turkish armed forces and had to withdraw after heavy losses caused by artillery fire from both sides of the Dardanelles and by sea mines. The invasion was the second stage after this first failed attack.
