	Winston Churchill - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The development of the battle tank was financed from naval research funds via the Landships Committee, and, although a decade later development of the battle tank would be seen as a stroke of genius, at the time it was seen as misappropriation of funds.
		Churchill advocated the pre-emptive occupation of the neutral Norwegian iron-ore port of Narvik and the iron mines in Kiruna, Sweden, early in the War.
		However, Chamberlain and the rest of the War Cabinet disagreed, and the operation was delayed until the German invasion of Norway, which was successful despite British efforts.

	The Gallipoli Campaign - NZHistory.net.nz
		The campaign had no great impact on the outcome of the war, and it was a costly failure for the Allies that cost thousands of lives - 2721 New Zealanders lost their lives.
		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.
		A military assault on the Dardanelles was not envisaged.

		The emphasis here is on the Army's stubborn insistence on pursuing a strategy of attrition, through large-unit operations and heavy firepower, and largely ignoring the political and social dimensions that form the foundation of successful counterinsurgency warfare.
		Woodward is quick to note that he was tapped for the job because he happened to be the navy's closest flotilla commander at the time (in Gibraltar)--and confides that his superiors almost replaced him with a higher-ranking officer even as he led the task force into danger.
		He saw that in most military campaigns dislocation of the enemy's psychological and physical balance is prelude to victory.

	Crusader States, Kings of Jerusalem & Cyprus, Templars, Hospitallers, Israel, etc.
		While the Emperor Frederick I Barbarossa and King Philip II Augustus of France went on the Crusade, Frederick died on the way, Philip soon left, and operations were mainly conducted by a third monarch, the King of England, Richard I, the Lion-Heart.
		"Operations" principally meant the recovery of Acre, whose inhabitants, after a long seige, and surrendering on terms, were then massacred, reinforcing the reputation for savagery and treachery that the Crusaders already had.
		After robbing and expelling Lombard bankers and the Jews, Philip conceived the scheme of suppressing the Templars, many of whom had died not twenty years previously vainly defending the last of the Kingdom of Jerusalem against the Mamlûks, accusing them of all sorts of outrageous crimes, and then confiscating their wealth.

	Twentieth Century Atlas - Casualty Statistics - Biggest Battles and Massacres
		Unfortunately for the purist, common usage has already expanded the term to include larger events such as the Battle of Britain, the Battle of the Bulge and the Battle of the Atlantic, all of which would be called "campaigns" in Napoleonic or American Civil War usage.
		The Rwanda massacres, on the other hand, were many events spread out across the 26,338 square kilometers of an entire country, so I don't count those.
		In borderline cases such as Katyn (three related massacres) and Kolyma (a large complex of labor camps operating for many years), I've leaned toward inclusion because these are smaller parts of a larger whole.
