When the Ottoman Empire was involved in the world war, the defense of the Dardanelles, which was a special position, was of great importance. Entente States could have the opportunity to occupy Istanbul and contact their allies Russia by passing the Dardanelles. After prolonged discussions in Britain, Navy Minister Winston Churchill convinced War Council to attack Gallipoli. Following this decision, the British have studied their plans to pass the Dardanelles. Despite being on the brink of war, there was only a report from the German Admiral Schack for the defense of the Dardanelles. Cevat Pasha focused on the defense plans of the Dardanelles since his appointment to the Dardanelles Fortified Area Command. Schack's plan was replaced by a new plan. The plan prepared by the Fortified Area Command under the command of Cevat Pasha and the precautions based on this plan provided a great victory on 18 March against the enemy bombardment which started on 19 February 1915.
