Battle of Gallipoli
The 25th April 1915 is a significant date in New Zealand history. On that day New Zealand and Australian troops landed at Gallipoli in Turkey. The day is observed as ANZAC Day and is reserved as a remembrance day for the war dead who have given their lives in New Zealand's wars. ANZAC Day is also observed by New Zealand's neighbour Australia, who fought and died alongside New Zealand and other British allies who made this ill planned invasion of the Turkish mainland of the Gallipoli peninsular in World War One. This event had a great effect on the New Zealand society and shook the whole of New Zealand due to high rates if causalities and due to the great change in New Zealand Society.
