	Dardanelles - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Dardanelles (Turkish: Çanakkale Boğazı, Greek: Δαρδανελλια), formerly known as the Hellespont, is a narrow strait in northwestern Turkey connecting the Aegean Sea with the Sea of Marmara.
		The Dardanelles were vital to the defense of Constantinople during the Byzantine period, and since the 14th century they have almost continuously been controlled by the Turks.
		Following the Ottoman Empire's defeat in the Russo-Turkish War of 1828-1829, in 1833 Russia forced the Turks to sign the Treaty of Hunkiar Iskelesi which required the straits to be closed to warships of non-Black Sea powers at Russia's request.

		Controlling navigation between the Black Sea and the Mediterranean, the Dardanelles and Bosporus straits have long been of immense strategic and commercial importance.
		By 1402 the Dardanelles were under the control of Ottoman Sultan Beyazid I. Muhammad II began (15th cent.) to fortify the passage, which, with brief interruptions, has remained in Turkish hands until the present.
		Russian expansion along the Black Sea (from the 18th cent.) and the resulting weakening of the Ottoman Empire became of great concern to the Western powers (see Eastern Question), notably England and France, which from 1841 joined forces to prevent Russia from gaining control over, or special rights in, the Straits.

	Dardanelles Victory Timeline: Pre-Operational Planning
		The official Turkish history of the Dardanelles campaign states that "Up to 25th February it would have been possible to effect a landing successfully at any point on the peninsula, and the capture of the straits would have been comparatively easy.".
		The Dardanelles were not, however, seen as a critical theatre, and fewer resources were allocated than von Sanders had advised.
		In the alternate timeline the threat to the Dardanelles hasn't been magnified in the minds of the Turks and Germans by the naval attack, and it doesn't seem worth wasting von Sanders on it full time.

	Daring the Dardanelles British Submarines in the Sea of Marmara During World War I (Site not responding. Last check: )
		Originally conceived by then-First Lord of the Admiralty Winston Churchill, the Dardanelles initiative was intended to open a supply line through the Black Sea to the beleaguered Russians and simultaneously drive Ottoman Turkey out of the war with one decisive blow.
		To appreciate the achievement of these daring submarine pioneers, consider the geography of the Dardanelles, the narrow, southwest-northeast strait that connects the Aegean Sea with the Sea of Marmara, with Asia to the south and the Gallipoli Peninsula - Europe - to the north.
		From its entrance between Cape Helles and Kum Kale, the Dardanelles stretches for forty miles to the town of Gallipoli (Gelibolu in Turkish), where it widens into the Sea of Marmara.

	Dardanelles
		The idea of an attack on the Dardanelles had been conceived before the outbreak of war by Churchill (First Lord of the Admiralty) and Kitchener (Secretary of State for War).
		The Dardanelles Commission were to say of this; “It is impossible to read all the evidence, or to study the voluminous papers which have been submitted to us, without being struck with the atmosphere of vagueness and want of precision which seems to have characterised the proceedings of the War Council.”
		The final decision to go ahead with the Dardanelles operation was taken at the War Council on January 28, 1915.
