The base of resistance of the Ottoman Empire, which lost its grounds in Africa, Europe, The Middle East, and the Caucasus, and then that of the Turkish Nation was laid in Çanakkale. The Turkish Army, which presented the honor as Çanakkale Victory to the Turkish Nation, didn’t stop after 1918 and gave the Turkish Nation its independence by starting The War of Independence all out.
