I was reading a little bit of Gallipoli and I'm wondering about what would've happened if the British and French navies had attempted to force the Dardanelles, like Roger Keyes had proposed rather than attempt to attack by land.
Winston Churchill actually had his own input on the idea, "I marveled much in those sad days at the standard of values and sense of proportion which prevailed among our politicians and naval and military authorities” who, “confident of breaking the line in France” with yet another offensive, sacrificed a quarter of a million men while refusing to lose "one hundredth part as many sailors and a dozen old ships" in the Dardanelles- where victory had actually been possible"
Any theories about how the attack would've went?
