what was the outcome of the battles of krithia
Battle of Krithia During the Gallipoli campaign in 1915, several battles were fought near the village of Krithia which is from the Greek "Krithari" which means Barley. The village was an objective of the first day of the landing, 25 April 1915. Over the following months, invading British Empire and French troops, who had landed near Cape Helles (from the Greek Helle from Greek mythology Elli) at the end of the peninsula, made several attempts to capture the village. It was never reached; the Turkish defenders successfully repulsed every assault.
Kangra Fort At least three rulers sought to conquer the fort and plundered the treasures of its temples: Mahmud Ghazni in 1009, Feroz Shah Tughluq in 1360 and Sher Shah in 1540.[1] The fort of Kangra resisted Akbar's siege. Akbar's son Jahangir successfully subdued the fort in 1620.[2] Kangra was at the time ruled by Raja Hari Chand Katoch of Kangra (also known as Raja Hari Chand II)[3] Mughal Emperor Jahangir with the help of Suraj Mal garrisoned with his troops. Under Jahangir, Murtaza Khan the governor of Punjab was directed to conquer Kangra, but he failed on account of the jealousy and opposition of the Rajput chiefs who were associated with him. Then Price Khurram was put in charge of the command. The siege of Kangra was pushed on for weeks. Supplies were cut off. The garrison had to live on boiled dry grass. It was faced with death and starvation. After a siege of 14 months, the fort surrendered in November, 1620. In 1621, Jahangir visited it and ordered the slaughter of a bullock there.[4] A mosque was also built within the fort of Kangra.[5]
