The Great War spread beyond Europe as allies devised a strategy to support Russia via the Gallipoli Campaign. In 1915, the attack on the Dardanelles involved troops from the British Empire, notably ANZAC forces from Australia and New Zealand. Despite their efforts, under the command of Ottoman Colonel Mustafa Kemal, they faced a bloody stalemate, leading to Allied withdrawal. Meanwhile, the war's reach extended to Asia and Africa, with Japan attacking German territories and African colonies contributing to the fight. Propaganda played a crucial role in mobilizing support and recruiting soldiers.
