Özet:

 One of the most significant victories in our history, the Battle of the Dardanelles lays the groundwork for New Turkey and opens the door for the National Struggle. It is remembered as a groundbreaking and breathtaking event not only by the Turkish people but also by all the other countries that were involved in the conflict. Because of this, this conflict was not only mentioned in books on both internal and foreign history published by historians, but it was also described in literary works by writers and travelers. It is a reality that reading, comprehending, and talking about this war will help one see the big picture. The French were among the countries who sustained significant losses, were forced to withdraw without achieving their intended objectives, and were defeated in the Battle of the Dardanelles, which decided the outcome of the First World War. For French soldiers who were raised with the social and cultural norms of a developed nation, their image of the East was limited to the stereotypes they read about in literature. When they reach the front, they encounter completely different realities that do not fit the image they had, and they try to find the strength to survive in hell by writing down their testimonies from the front. By examining Jean Leymonneries Journal dun poilu sur le front dOrient, 1915 2003 and Francine Saint-Ramonds Les désorientés: expériences des soldats français aux Dardanelles et en Macédoine, 1915-1918 2019, which capture the atmosphere of the Battle of the Dardanelles and the reality on the other side, through the lens of historical criticism, it will be attempted to demonstrate the significance of the battle for both French and Turkish history.

 Tarihimize yön veren en önemli zaferlerden biri olan, Yeni Türkiyenin temellerinin atıldığı, Millî Mücadelenin önünü açan Çanakkale Savaşı, yalnız Türk Milleti için değil savaşa katılan ya da katılmayan tüm milletler için iz bırakan ve hayranlık uyandıran bir olay olarak hafızalara kazınmıştır. Bu nedenle yalnızca tarihçiler tarafından kaleme alınan yerli ve yabancı tarih kitaplarında yer almakla kalmamış gerek gezginler gerekse de yazarlar tarafından da yazınsal yapıtlarda bu savaşın anlatımı yapılmıştır. Olağanüstü bir zafer olarak değerlendirilen Çanakkale Savaşını farklı kaynaklardan okumak, anlamak ve tartışmak, resmin bir bütün olarak görülmesine katkı sağlayacağı bir gerçektir. I. Dünya Savaşının kaderini belirleyen Çanakkale Savaşında bozguna uğrayan, arzu ettikleri hedeflere ulaşamadan, ağır kayıplar vererek geri çekilmek zorunda kalan milletlerden biri de Fransızlardır. Gelişmiş bir ülkenin sosyal ve kültürel değerleriyle yetişmiş Fransız askerler için Doğu imgesi, yalnızca yazınsal metinlerde karşılaştıkları kalıp imgelere sahiptir. Cepheye ulaştıklarında sahip oldukları imgeye uymayan bambaşka gerçeklerle karşılaşırlar, cephedeki tanıklıklarını yazarak cehennemde sağ kalmak için gereken gücü bulmaya çalışırlar. Çanakkale Savaşının meydana geldiği ortamı ve karşı cephede yaşanılan gerçekliği yansıtan Jean Leymonnerienin Journal dun poilu sur le front dOrient, 1915 2003 ve Francine Saint-Ramondun Les désorientés: expériences des soldats français aux Dardanelles et en Macédoine, 1915-1918 2019 adlı yapıtları tarihsel eleştiri yöntemi çerçevesinde incelenerek, Çanakkale Savaşının yalnızca Türk Tarihi için değil Fransız Tarihi için de ne kadar önemli olduğu gözler önüne serilmeye çalışılacaktır.
