Notes:

Whimsical Warfare came about from a discussion on /tg/ on taking well known events in military history and subjecting them to disneyfication in order to make them as innocuous and cuddly as possible. Due to the more general nature of the content, and the lack of a /his/ entry, I felt they belonged here instead of being in the /tg/ entry.

The Gallipoli Campaign was a failed amphibious invasion of Turkey carried out by the Entente early in WW1. The aim of the invasion was too secure the straights of the Dardanelles before besieging the Ottoman capital of Constantinople, which was hoped would knock the Ottoman empire out of the war by 1915.

Although a failure militarily, this event saw the birth of both the Australian and New Zealand national spirit, the ANZAC Spirit, which was crucial in building the national character of both countries.
