The unsuccessful campaign in World War I (1915) by the English and French to open a passage for aid to Russia; defeated by the Turks. (Credit to WordWeb) From the other side: Of course, Germany wanted to prevent supplies reaching Russia via the Dardanelles. And to the Turks, it was their territory, and they were being invaded!
The Turkish Bombard built in 1464 was last fired at the British in 1807 by the Ottoman Empire in defense of the Dardanelles. It is located at Fort Nelson in Portsmouth, a gift from Sultan Abdulaziz to Queen Victoria in 1866.

The Turkish peninsula that was the scene of invasion by allied forces in 1915 was the Gallipoli Peninsula. The aim of the invasion was to secure the Dardanelles Strait and establish a supply route to Russia, but it resulted in heavy casualties and ultimately failed in its objective.
The Dardanelles is the strait connecting the Aegean Sea and the Sea of Mamara.
Members of the British Navy were responsible for capturing the Gallipoli Peninsula and to destroy the Turkish guns that controlled the Dardanelle Straits. However; this plan of attack failed when they landed too far North.
The bodies of water that make up the Turkish Straits are the Bosporus, the Sea of Marmara, and Dardanelles. They also separate the Asian and European parts of Turkey.

The AE2 was ordered to sail through the Dardanelles and disrupt Turkish shipping in the Sea of Marmora. No other submarine had yet managed to breach the Turkish defences but, 25 April 1915, the AE2 got past minefields and land-based guns. After torpedoing a Turkish destroyer it reached the Sea of Marmora.
