Sinai and Palestine Campaign

The Sinai and Palestine Campaign (1916-1918) was part of World War I, involving battles fought in the Middle East between the British Empire and the Ottoman Empire. The campaign aimed to secure the Suez Canal and eventually capture Jerusalem and other key territories. British forces, including ANZAC troops (from Australia and New Zealand), faced tough conditions and resistance but achieved significant victories. This campaign contributed to the eventual collapse of the Ottoman Empire and altered the political landscape of the region, setting the stage for future conflicts and shaping modern Middle Eastern history.
