EXPLANATION:Churchills plan to knock Turkey out of the

war was spoiled by:

In 1915, the Allies tried to break the deadlock on the western front by

(18741965), first lord of the British admiralty. This policy

supposedly would knock Turkey from the war, bring help to the

Balkan front, and ease communications with Russia. The successof Churchills plan depended on timing, speed, and daring

leadership, but all of these were lacking. Worse, the execution of

the attack was inept and overly cautious.
