Troy
Archeological site of Troy
is in World Heritage
List.
With its 4,000 years
of history, is one
of the most famous
archaeological sites
in the world. The
first excavations at
the site were
undertaken by the
famous archaeologist
Heinrich Schliemann
in 1870. In
scientific terms,
its extensive
remains are the most
significant
demonstration of the
first contact
between the
civilizations of
Anatolia and the
Mediterranean world.
Moreover, the siege
of Troy by Spartan
and Achaean warriors
from Greece in the
13th or 12th century
B.C., immortalized
by Homer in the
Iliad, has inspired
great creative
artists throughout
the world ever
since.
Gallipoli
For nine months in 1915,
British and French
forces battled the
Ottoman Empire -
modern Turkey - for
control of the
Gallipoli peninsula,
a small finger of
Europe jutting into
the Aegean Sea that
dominates a
strategic waterway,
the Dardanelles. By
opening the
Dardanelles to their
fleets, the Allies
hoped to threaten
the Ottoman capital,
Constantinople (now
Istanbul) and knock
the Turks out of the
war. Among the
British forces were
the Anzacs - the
Australia and New
Zealand Army Corps -
who landed on the
peninsula on 25
April. The landing ,
was ambitious and
ultimately
unsuccessful: the
peninsula remained
in its defenders'
hands. The campaign
was a costly failure
for the Allies:
44,000 British and
French soldiers
died, including over
8700 Australians.
Among the dead were
2721 New Zealanders
- approximate
one-quarter of those
who fought on
Gallipoli. Victory
came at a high price
for the Turks:
87,000 men died in
the campaign which
became a defining
moment in Turkish
history.
