On March 1915 the British and French sent a naval attack on the Turkish forces. They wanted to take control of the strategically vital strait separating Europe from Asia.The failure of that resulted in heavy casualties and a bad reputation of the Allied war command and Winston Churchill. The British lord of the admiralty sent a very aggressive naval assault against Turkey. The British took control over the strait so the Russian navy could not get the supply of munitions. British Secretary Edward Grey took a approach with a fleet right toward the Ottoman Empire. That may of provoke a coup in Constantinople what lead to Turkey abandoning the Central Powers and return to its earlier neutrality.
