1. It tarnished the Reputation of Several War Officers in Power
The ground and Allied naval forces at the Battle of Gallipoli changed command several times, and it cost the resignation of two admirals and the British Prime Minister. On March 1915, Admiral Sackville Carden was replaced by Vice-Admiral John de Robeck after he suffered a nervous collapse under pressure to resume naval attack. In May, the head of the British Navy John Fisher resigned due to the fiasco of the operation. After complaints in London, the first general to lead the armies, Ian Hamilton was replaced by Charles Monro in October. The disastrous plan also made Winston Churchill resign from his post in the British Admiralty and head to the Western Front, and H. H. Asquith, prime minister of the UK, renounce and be replaced by David L. George. The reputation of the Secretary of State for War, Horatio Kitchener, was also tarnished.
