Gallipolli was a German victory.Not according to the Australian government, the main suppliers of the troops on the losing side
"Kemal returned to Gallipoli in 1915 as commander of the 19th Division, the main reserve of the Turkish Fifth Army, and was thus on hand to oppose the ANZAC landing in April. His superb grasp of strategy and ability to inspire his troops by his reckless bravery in action boosted Turkish morale and proved decisive in thwarting allied plans."
German commanders led most of the Turkish armies, most of which were defeated. Kemal is generally considered to be the motivating spirit behind their success at Gallipoli.
Kemal was no more than a glorified drill sergeant to his German General. He followed his German general's orders with great elan as befitting a good subordinate. IN fact all Turkish armies were under German command in WW1 and teh Turkish generals dod no more than translate the orders from German to Turkish for Ottoman Turkey's slave slodiers.
