What If the dardanelles campain is sucsessfull

What if the Dardanelles Campain, the brain child of the then sea lord Winston Churchhill, Succeeded? The plain was to Attack the weakest of the Central powers, The turks, and Thus get much neaded Supplys to the vast yet under supplied russian Army. The Plan was a falure, leaving russia Isolated. The in turn, led to the bolshevik revolution, and russias exit from the war. What would have happend If The Dardanelles Campain had been more succsesfull? How would this effect History?

Nitpick: Churchill wasn't First Sea Lord. He was the First Lord of the Admiralty. The First Sea Lord at the time was Jackie Fisher.

A successful Dardanelles Campaign is the basis for my Rule Britannia TL. I posit that it would knock Turkey out of the war, opening up a more secure supply line between Russia and Britain/France, while also persuading the on-the-fence Balkan nations to side with the Allies against the Central Powers. This opens up another front against the Central Powers, straining their already overreached forces and leading to an Allied victory in mid-1916.
 
It would be a war winner. Germany loses earlier. No Bolshevik revolution in Russia. And Churchill's rep would be such that if the Nazis were to achieve power in TTL (not very likely) the British people would listen to his warnings and be much better prepared for war.
 
It might actually be better for the Ottomans then OTL. Seeing as how they will still control most of the Middle East, they may lose less of it then OTL, especially if they surrender just after Constantinople has been taken, though the British will certainly want some rewards. The Russians may take Eastern Anatolia themselves, or at least run it as an Armenian puppet state.
