Suvla Bay

Suvla Bay is a location on the Gallipoli Peninsula in Turkey, known for a significant World War I battle in 1915. Allied forces, mainly British and Australian troops, launched a landing there to open a new front against the Ottoman Empire. The operation aimed to secure a strategic position and open routes to Russia. However, the landing faced strong Ottoman resistance, leading to heavy casualties and a difficult stalemate. Today, Suvla Bay is remembered for its wartime history, commemorations, and as a reminder of the costs of military conflict.
