ABSTRACT
This chapter articulates the general scope and themes of the Turkish war literature and analyses some Turkish poems written in the period of the Gallipoli campaign and the contemporary age in a comparative manner. Harp Mecmuas was the journal established and supported by the Ministry of War and it enabled the members of the committee to publish their war narratives after their visit to the Gallipoli front. The Ottoman Empire fought on several fronts during the First World War. Mehmet Akif Ersoy addresses the colonial practices planned to be carried out by the Allied imperial forces. Ideologies of the second constitutional era inevitably reveal themselves in the publications of works based on the Battle of anakkale. In terms of fiction, the main interest in writing novels about Canakkale flourished in the last quarter of twentieth century. All the historical narratives pay homage to the victories of the Turkish ancestors and great commanders who strove against the Allied forces in Gallipoli.
