The disastrous consequences of his blundering almost 100 years ago is still a major cause of the misery in the middle-east even today.
I would like to hear how exactly Churchills disaster at Gallipoli was responsible for its decline in power. There are many causes not least its loss in industrial preeminence to the USA and Germany. To a single failed campaign...not so much. Also please explain how the failed campaign in Gallipoli is a major cause of misery in the Middle East today . or perhaps you can just resort to telling me to 'educate myself' in lieu of not being able to assert your position

One who manage to count pipsqueak would-be jingoistic racists like kılıç_mehmet and other similar low brow Anatolian yokels, yahoos and riffraffs amongst his admirers could never qualify.
Iit is a mark of a great leader that he achieved what he did despite Turkey being full of pipsqueak would-be jingoistic racists like kılıç_mehmet and other similar low brow Anatolian yokels, yahoos and riffraffs
Leading great peoples is simple. Modernising early 20th century Turkey was a different matter entirely.
