How Gallipoli success could shorten the war

Victory need not prevent a later Russian revolution to change the war. Food, exports, weapons, uniforms, and battlefield success could postpone political collapse while maintaining a grinding eastern front. Germany would then lack the opportunity to shift large forces west for its final offensives, potentially shortening the conflict by a year or more. The estimate is explicitly counterfactual and depends on the Black Sea route keeping Russia in effective combat long enough to deny Germany that redeployment window.
