Abstract

Besides its political, diplomatic and military consequences, the Gallipoli war also brought different national and cultural identities into confrontation. In other words, as can be clearly seen from memoirs, diaries and letters of the Turkish and allied soldiers, each side othered the other side and with rooted prejudice, antagonism, and cultural solipsism, ignored to recognize each other’s real identity. Especially the British and Anzac soldiers depicted the Turkish identity in their writings in the traditional antagonistic manner.Also, some oriental colouring was added to the representation of the Turkish identity. However, in time, as a result of the cultural experiences shared on the battlefield, this prejudice was turned into not only mutual respect to each other but also respect to their own nation by the Anzacs. So, the purpose of this article is to discuss and demonstrate, on the basis of memoirs, diaries and letters as primary material, how the war at Gallipoli was also metaphorically a war of identities, especially between the Turkish and Anzac soldiers.

Özet

Politik, diplomatik ve askeri sonuçlarına rağmen Çanakkale Savaşı farklı ulusal ve kültürel kimlikleri de karşı karşıya getirdi. Diğer bir deyişle, Türk ve müttefik askerlerin hatıratlarından, günlüklerinden ve mektuplarından da anlaşılabileceği gibi, her bir taraf diğer bir tarafı ötekileştirmiş ve kemikleşmiş bir ön yargı, düşmanlık ve kültürel tekbencilikle birbirlerinin kimliklerini tanımayı reddetmişlerdir. Özellikle İngiliz ve Anzak askerler, Türk kimliğini, Çanakkale Savaşı öncesinde kendi geleneksel düşmancıl tutumlarıyla tasvir etmişlerdir. Üstelik Türk kimliğinin temsiline biraz da doğuya özgü renkler yüklemişlerdir. Ancak, savaş sonrasında özellikle Anzak askerlerinin Türk askerlerine besledikleri bu önyargılı düşünce ve tutumları değişmiştir. Bu yüzden bu çalışmanın amacı, hatıratları, günlükleri ve mektupları ana kaynaklar olarak baz alarak Çanakkale Savaşı’nın mecazi anlamda nasıl bir kimlik savaşı olduğunu ele almak ve açıklamaktır.
