Naval operations in the Dardanelles Campaign : ウィキペディア英語版 | Naval operations in the Dardanelles Campaign
The naval operations in the Dardanelles Campaign of the First World War were mainly carried out by the Royal Navy with substantial support from the French and minor contributions from Russia and Australia. The Dardanelles Campaign began as a purely naval operation. When that failed to overcome Ottoman defences, an invasion of the Gallipoli peninsula was launched in which naval forces were heavily involved. Throughout the campaign, attempts were made by submarines to pass through the Dardanelles and disrupt Ottoman Empire shipping in the Sea of Marmara. ==Prelude== At the outbreak of the First World War, the Ottoman Empire was an unaligned power. While Britain had a long history of interest in the region, Germany had been most active in cultivating a relationship with the Ottomans. At the outbreak of war, the British confiscated two battleships constructed for the Ottoman Empire which were still in British shipyards.〔Carlyon pp. 41–42.〕 In response, Germany made a gift of two ships, the battlecruiser and the light cruiser , as replacements. While still operated by their German crews, these ships, renamed and , respectively, became the backbone of the Ottoman navy. Through possession of ''Yavûz Sultân Selîm'', the Ottoman Empire controlled the most powerful ship in the Black Sea in 1914.〔Carlyon pp.42–44〕
