Hey Mr. Terry when Mustafa Kemal ordered that charge he was also charging with his men he wasn't just ordering them to die and viewing just their lives as worthless, theres a reason the quote says "In the time which passes until we die, other troops and commanders can take our place." He just knew that they needed to stop them and prevent the landing and so was willing to order these men to their death as well as himself so they could buy time for reinforcements to arrive

ANZAC Day is commemorated every year on April 25 in Australia & New Zealand. It was when it was realised that Britain didn't have the interests of Australia and New Zealand in mind, leading to less of a British identity and to a more independent "we need to look after our own interests" Australia and New Zealand.

If the Britts had taken taken Gallipoli, they would have been able to aid Russia and the revolution might not have happened. When you think about it, how different the whole 20th century would be ? Maybe no Cold War or the resistance 3rd Reich would face would be completely different and it is just mind-blowing how a battle that is disregarded by the Westerners nowadays could have changed the whole world's order. By the way, Mustafa Kemal was also in the trenches with the soldiers. He didn't simply give orders and send the soldiers to die. I mean, you're a history teacher so I think you probably know this but at that time it was a die-die situation for the Ottomans, you either die on the front or die fleeing the battle-field because your whole country is getting invaded at all sides. So they chose to die fighting and at least remembered as an honorable martyr.

Indy Nidel does something on this in his Great War Videos. EVEN IF Gallipoli had succeeded, the French attack on the other side of the Dardanelles was a failure. EVEN IF both attacks succeeded, they then had to proceed up the peninsula, which is some of the easiest to defend land in Europe, and even from the first attack it became clear that the men and logistics weren't in the position to do that. EVEN IF they somehow did that, they then had to take Istambol, a hard task in and of itself. And if they did that... then what? The Ottomans Surrender? So what, they had failed in every attack againest Russia a situation that was set to continue. The Ottomens were ONLY successful defensively during WW1. The forces of the Allies reached Russia and supported the Whites during the communist civil war via the Mesopotamia. It didn't matter because the Whites were fighting each other as much as they were fighting the Reds.

Gallipoli wasn't just British troops. The Anzacs were a HUGE part of this push. We have a holiday over here called Anzac Day which is purely devoted to this invasion. Gallipoli may not be heard of much everywhere else, or may be underrated, but it's a HUUUGE deal for us Aussies. They always tell tales of the Emu War and how stupid the Australians are, but when we said we were natural soldiers, we weren't kidding. There are tales and accounts of the inhuman bravery and fighting spirit of Aussies, British generals saying they would take one force of Anzacs over twelve forces of their own soldiers any day.

As an ex Australian soldier this song holds a lot of value, Whilst Gallipoli was a 'loss', it became the foundation stone for the ANZAC tradition and brotherhood that exists in the Australian and Kiwi armed forces. The term "Diggers" was coined as a result for the digging of the trenches and there are many stories of amazing humble events that took place despite the harsh battles. There were cease fires to collect the wounded and fallen, Turks and ANZACS traded food, stories and supplies during these cease fires and it paved the way for a truly remarkable bond between the three nations (Australia, New Zealand and Turkey), There was a famous speech delivered by the Turkish Prime Minister(Or president, can't remember their legal structure), but that is where the reference is in regards to foe turned to friend and the fallen lay in peace in on friendly ground.

29:32 Mr. Terry, I believe the answer to "Why? (not load your rifle)" is that the ANZACs thought they would get the element of surprise. it's like the unit that Alexander Hamilton led near the end of the US Rev War... he ordered them to unload their muskets so there was no chance of an accidental gunshot giving away their position. The inflexibility of the commands in WW1 are legendary...and this is another example. Once they were under fire, they should have immediately loaded, but they still figured they had some element of surprise and their orders had not changed, so they kept on.

From an Australian perspective, Gallipoli is the biggest part of World War 1 that we focus on. It is a major part of our national identity and a defining part of our military history. The massive load and waste of life that was the sacrifice the ANZACs made at the foolish orders of the British rings true and strong in this song. Not the mention how thing didn't go as planned and how (if what I learnt was true) the ANZACs were given the worst situations to deal with. One if my favorite experiences attending a metal concert was seeing Sabaton and singing along with a crowd of my fellow Australians to this song live.

Just so your aware Gallipoli was the first major battlefield that the bulk of the Australian and new zealand army corps, or ANZAC fought in. Enthusiasm for the war in australia was the highest of all the british colonies seeing the largest turn out of volunteers, with many as young as 14 lying about thier age to join. Most regiments formed were light infantry as well as light cavalry. They were given three months of training in egypt before being shipped to Gallipoli without gear for trench fighting. 3 days before landing the navy layed out bouys marking landing zones. The turks noticed and moved them from the coves to the narrower cliff faces. The day of the landing the navy launched a bombardment to create some cover on the beachs. They fell several meters short into the waves.

I think this is the first Sabaton song I ever heard. It's truly upsetting. But at the same time, it makes you think that ultimately the only thing you can ever promise a soldier is that they'll be remembered. They may live or die but you really have no control over that. You can carve their name on a wall somewhere and render military honors. No parent wants to bury their child and the reality of it is horrible. In reality, the best thing is to live and to come home safe and well. If you can't, the next best thing is to be remembered and honored.

Sabaton is unique in that they’re one of the few bands that can both execute a well crafted album that tells a story along all songs, whilst each song has its own identity, and each album having its own identity as well. The Last Stand and The Great War are by far my favorite two albums. Heroes is a close second. The Great War has a similar cadence and melodic feel across some songs, but for the most part they remain pretty individualistic. The last stand, and the the title track on that album are widely regarded as two of sabaton’s master works. The Last stand being about the defense of the the Vatican/pope during the sack of Rome in 1527. Many fans will agree the last stand was kind of Sabaton’s golden age/time. That said, cliffs of Galepoli is from The Art of War, one of Sabaton’s (earlier-ish) albums. I hesitate to say the band was in a “transitional” period during this time, but the songs were a lot more big and melodic on this albums. The lyrics were a tad more terse, but the way they were expressed and performed makes them just as resounding as some of the more wordy songs of their more recent stuff. A great song from The art of War is Swedish Pagans. I think you’ll see what I mean when you listen to Cliffs of Galepoli and then Swedish pagans right after. They’re not great long epic works of poetry, but the few (relatively speaking) lyrics they do sing are very powerful, driving, and grandiose. All that’s to say I’m a way bigger fan of their later stuff - but if you like the style of Cliffs of Galepoli, then The Art of War, Coat of Arms, and even Carolus Rex on some tracks, all carry this large and grandiose lyrical style. That said, I would definitely recommend not listening to songs just a la carte and listening to the albums as a whole if possible. Each song is its own wonderful piece of music, but the context of the other songs on the album add a whole new level of depth to their discography.

Hi Mr. Terry! I found you only yesterday but I've been binge watching your videos ever since. I'm from Turkey btw. When I found this video, I was hesitant to watch it or not. Because we are often misunderstood for some reason. This comment will be a little longer, but I hope you will read it to the end. First of all, I ask you to consider the state of the Ottoman Empire at that time. A great empire that once held formidable powers was hit by a blow after blow. And the country was powerless. Its people were weak. Once people lived in prosperity, they became poor after wars one after another. People had come to such a point; Either they would protect their country at the cost of their lives and come out of this mud, or they would surrender and allow their land to be occupied. I want you to keep one more thing in mind; Our love of homeland as a race is beyond our logic. When Mustafa Kemal said, "I don't order you to attack, I order you to die." there was no logic there. )And I don't want you to misunderstand, Mustafa Kemal was on the battlefield with the other soldiers. He was ready to give his life as much as anyone else. He didn't sat in his tent and said, "Let's just let everybody die.") I don't think there will be logic on the battlefield. The men who fought there were willing to give their lives thinking of the wives and children they left in their homes. Because the situation was that serious. And many sources do not write about the miracle created by Corporal Seyit. When the crane carrying bullets to the cannons on the beach broke down, Corporal Seyit lifted the 215 kg bullet and placed it alone. If you can find resources, I would like you to learn about him. In an environment where adrenaline is so high, everyone focuses only on protecting their homeland. Yeah, maybe people seem to be changeable somehow as you said, but rest assured it isn't. If it were, a huge monument with the names of every citizen who lost their life for their land would not have been placed there. While people were dying in Gallipoli, on the one hand, Sultan Vahdettin was thinking of making an agreement with the British and surrendering the whole country to them. In return, he wanted to remain on the throne. Mustafa Kemal learned about this and after the Gallipoli War was over, he opposed the orders of the Sultan and left the army. Later, he traveled all over the country and informed everyone that we had to oppose this occupation. And the citizens found him right. Nobody was forced into this. This was going to be the last war. That's why its name is the War of Independence. Mustafa Kemal was a smart man. He was brought up in a military school and his military intelligence was above everyone. If it were not for him, we would be living as a British colony now. he gave us our freedom and eventually died in this way. After he died, even now some people try to disparage him. They want the Ottoman empire to come back, they say that Mustafa Kemal was a traitor because he destroyed the empire. Thank you if you read this far. There is a lot that people do not know about our history. Throughout history, they sought a reason to invade our country, as we are in a logistically advantageous position. They are still looking for a reason. And the man who leads us helps them.

My favourite Sabaton song is Blood of Bannockburn because I like them fast-paced songs in general, but also because it's the only one they ever made that goes in a major scale. Cliffs of Gallipoli is on the tragedy side along with "Price of a Mile", "Lifetime of war" and "Ruina Imperii"

I see you occasionally play video games. I can't recommend highly enough "Assassin's Creed: Origins". I learned so much about ancient Egypt through that game. Even down to tiny details like the fact that when Julius Caesar went sightseeing to the "old kingdom sites" he was further removed from the time they were built than we are today from his time period. Or the Egyptian love of pigeons. There were dovecotes everywhere in ancient Egypt (and there's still a lot today). The craze of having dovecotes in wealthy estates in Europe were (likely) left over from the Roman occupation. The customs, culture, and religion of ancient Egypt are also extensively explored and incorporated into the gameplay. There's also a special mode called "Discovery Tour" which allows you to explore ancient Egypt without being interrupted by combat or quests. Purely educational, the mode is a "virtual museum" without threats but instead with guided tours and historical sites to discover.

Force through a chokepoint is pretty much the most stupid thing a military leader could ever do. It's just asking to be massacred. Flanking the coastal artillery is often the only option as most fortified positions like these have anti air batteries as well, so air bombings are a big risk too.

Dear Mr Terry I'm from Australia the Gallipoli campaign was not just a British operation the British were meant to land at Gallipoli or what is known to us as ANZAC cove and take the cliffs. The Australian, New Zealand Army corps was supposed to attack further down but due to a last minute change from the British the ANZAC's landed at Gallipoli with a scouting force of 10 men in the early hours of the morning which sent the Ottoman forces into a retreat as the Ottoman soldiers thought that the landing had already happened and they had thought they were fighting more than 10 men. So what you are saying by Gallipoli being a soly British operation is incorect and if you look at the video clip the uniform that the allied soldiers are wearing are slouch hats and a British field uniform. I do apologize for any spelling mistakes that I have made 🙂

It's not specifically historical, but if you really want to listen to one of the saddest songs I've heard from Sabaton (other than Final Solution, which is discomforting to listen to but that's kind of the point), look at The Hammer Has Fallen. If I remember correctly, there's a rumour/explanation that Hammer Has Fallen has its lyrics adapted from a journal entry written by a dying soldier.

Now that I think about it... At the time, had someone looked at the plans of D-Day during WW2, they'd probably point back to this battle, and even the North Africa campaign which was also a disaster for the Allies, the idea to push through into the "soft underbelly of the Reich" saying that the British weren't capable of such feats, even with their navy. There was another invasion planned, a naval invasion of the Japanese Archipelago, called "Operation Downfall". Had the nuclear bomb not dropped on Japan, this plan might have been used. If we just looked at WW2, it would seem like it would be possible, if at great cost. Though, maybe that invasion would have played out to be another Gallipoli, because the terrain was also extremely unforgiving, mountainous even, limiting the number of landing locations. Couple that with a fanatic populace ready to die for the Emperor, and the death toll could easily exceed millions. WW2 would not have ended in 1945, it would have extended well into 1946 until either Japan ran out of people that could fight, or public outrage over the loss of life forced the government to sue for peace, and who knows the kind of relationship that'd exist today had such a blood bath occurred. This wasn't WW1, where leaders had to say goodbye to glorious warfare, or saw each other as unfortunate casualties of a cruel war that almost just happened to them, and the sacrifice of both sides would be honored with a monument alongside a quote from Turkey's greatest leader. WW2 had high heated emotions on all sides, and the destruction that it incurred left scars that still are observed today, another Gallipoli during WW2 probably would have both sides involved very bitter towards the other, never really forgiving or teaching that the other was evil incarnate. TL;DR: There was a time that another Gallipoli might have happened during WW2, against Japan. Lots of similarities, but the implications of such loss of life during WW2 as opposed to WW1 are astronomical. Japan might be just as much of a pariah abroad as Germany is today, maybe even more so.
