Enver was the de facto ruler
of the Ottoman Empire when he was still in his thirties. The debate is still on whether he was a devoted patriot or a callous dreamer. He was not a traitor, but he was also not a hero. He was just a man, with his ideals and mistakes.

The Dardanelles were closed
to the Allied forces, albeit at a huge cost for the Turks. The Turkish nation found its identity during the defense of Çanakkale and it was where a great leader was born: Mustafa Kemal, who became the founder of the modern Turkey after the war.

It was the gallant Mehmetçik
who wrote, in his own blood, this epic tale of war. His sacrifice is a story never to be forgotten... Along with him, we honour all men and women, soldier or civilian, who have given their lives in the bloodiest conflict mankind has ever seen.
