=Anzac day.=

What is it Australians commemorate on Anzac Day? Read the answer below.
===On 25 April 1915 Australia was at war. With the Allies (Britain, France and Russia, Italy, Japan, and the USA [from 1917]), Australia was fighting against the Central Powers (Germany, Turkey [then known as the Ottoman Empire], Austria-Hungary). In response to a request for help from Russia, which was being battered by the Turks in the Caucasus, the Allies decided to begin a campaign which they hoped would distract Turkey from their attack on Russia. The plan was for the Allies to attack and take the Gallipoli Peninsula, on Turkey's Aegean coast, from which point the Allies believed they could take control of the Dardanelles - a 67 kilometre (42 mile) strait which connects the Aegean Sea with the Sea of Marmara - and lay seige to Turkey's main city, Istanbul (then Constantinople).===

[|ANZAC Stories]
Posted by [|AllStars] on 7th May 2007 This past week we have been writing some ANZAC stories on our personal blogs. We imagined what it would be like to be fighting in the First World War and wrote stories, journal entries or letters back home. We would love for you to read them and comment on our work. Thanks.
