	The Gallipoli Campaign - NZHistory.net.nz (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-01)
		With the German High Seas Fleet contained in the North Sea, the possibility of launching amphibious attacks on the enemy was particularly evident to the British First Lord of the Admiralty, Winston Churchill.
		Impatient to use British naval resources, he advanced a series of proposals, among them an assault on the Dardanelles - the nearly 50 kilometre-long strait separating the Aegean Sea from the Sea of Marmara, which at its narrowest point, the Narrows, was less than two kilometres wide.
		The object would be to pass a force into the Sea of Marmara and threaten the capital of Germany's ally the Ottoman Empire.

	GERMANIA: Visigoths, Ostrogoths, Vandals, Vikings, Orkney, etc.
		There was really no hope of restoring the Western Empire until the Vandals were swept from the sea and their base recovered.
		This might seem to be rather far from anything, but it put the fleet in a position, at the entrance to the North Sea, to intercept the German High Seas Fleet whatever it might do.
		As it happened, the German fleet was thus intercepted in 1916, resulting in the Battle of Jutland.
