Gallipoli: The Battle That Made Australia

In this episode we’re diving into one of the most defining events in Australian history — the Gallipoli Campaign of World War I.

Originally intended as a bold move to break the stalemate on the Western Front, Gallipoli turned into a brutal and costly failure. But for Australia, it became something much more than a battlefield. It became the birthplace of the ANZAC legend — and a moment that helped shape the nation’s identity.

In this episode, we explore:
- The background and strategy behind the Gallipoli campaign
- What actually happened — from the landing to the evacuation
- Personal stories from the front lines
- Why Gallipoli is commemorated — over a century later

Whether you're learning about Gallipoli for the first time or revisiting its legacy, this episode unpacks the courage, sacrifice, and symbolism that still resonate today.
